I keep hoping one day a Belgian musicologist or chocolatier will leave a comment.

I was really bothered the first time it happened but I don't think about it any more.<br />I think most of my traffic is a person in Mauritius, another in Malta, a couple in New Zealand....and then a load of UK and USA hits. I confess though I get quite excited when there's a hit from somewhere like St Helena or Tristan da Cunha.Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232154028235485600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-87931544525718692552016-07-24T14:26:39.104+01:002016-07-24T14:26:39.104+01:00We are getting it too.

Just don’t click on the links of the referring URL whatever you do.

Not a sudden recent effect, though... the numbers themselves must be something electronic rather than genuine interest, though... I must look further at what the blog stats may reveal...Edwin Osbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892411809138609516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-74937276070686701452016-07-23T18:50:31.839+01:002016-07-23T18:50:31.839+01:00Hi Joanne, This could well be the explanation.

But if I get no proper explanation I will change my password and see if that helps.

My computer guru said they were up to no good, piggybacking for some nefarious purpose. I changed my Google password to some computer generated, twenty digit monstrosity. It didn't seem to make a difference at first, but within a couple of weeks my traffic was back to "normal", and generated from the usual places, like other blogger's sites. It was as if they were suddenly blocked for not knowing the password.
