Somehow my blog has ended up on some auto generated sites. I used to have 1000-2500 views a month now i have 26 000… So i have no idea how many actually visit it anymore. Does seem it's the main page that has been hit the hardest. But still on average my post got some 100-200 more views then normal. And some of my older post now get more views per week then my most recent ones. |

I'd sign up for some advertising, you may actually make some money out of it. |

Happens occasionally. Put the old blogposts that cause the problem back in draftmode for some time. Btw, why would it matter if you get more non-wargaming views? It's not really a problem for the true wargaming visitors. Or are you obsessed by visitor statistics? As long as you do not get spam comments, it's not that big an issue, is it? |

I like to have some idea about the traffic on my blog, that's impossible now. And it's my main page that gets the views. Not a blog post I can deactivate. |

It's not just you, I think. I'm also seeing a lot of traffic from "bait" sites in the last couple of months or so. I just try to ignore it, though I will admit that it annoys me somewhat… Hugh |

Stats and traffic sources can still give you a good idea of actual 'real' hits. Don't click on the offending sources though as it will probably encourage the bots. |
