Weird Blog Statistics...

 


How many - and don't count the animals in zoos - might there be in Germany, zebras I mean? 

(the one above was the somehow unsettling entrance to our hotel room in Aschaffenburg). 

To make an educated guess: not many zebras in Germany. 

Then, I ask you, how many readers might read my blog? As you all know, I am not too modest regarding my assets, but even I get a bit suspicious when I look at the latest number on my blog-statistics: 44 - I agree easily - 

              but: "others: 25.219 

                      WHAT??

                      WHO??? 

America first, with 3.325, followed by Germany: 2.914, then Singapur, Hongkong and Indonesia -- and so on, and so on. 

Must all be German zebras, running wild...


Please write to me about your experience with blog statistics, and how you explain them, and if you believe them. I am very curious what you will tell me!

  1. The statistics are bumped up by ai scraping for content. They're views, not people reading. My own are in the low hundreds routinely, then suddenly they'll double, triple even and I'm pretty sure it's content-scraping
