Recently (as in the last two posts on both of my blogs), my page hits have gone thru the roof. My previous post on this blog crested 1000 views just this week! Yet no one comments. So where are these views coming from? Bots, Ai queries, or actual hobbyist views? I am sure that there are at least a few of the latter.
Personally, I am thinking that this has something to do with blogger's new search link suggestions (which were declined for this post). According to my blog stats, a large chunk of views are coming from google as always, yet an extraordinary number of views are coming from a non-descript 'other' that is primarily US based (or so their VPNs say) and using the Microsoft operating system.
Curiously, the old Faeit 212 is still a strong contributor of what I would call legitimate page views, but those are a mere pittance compared to this recent onslaught. So please, comment below and let me know:
Who are you?

Heya! I'm a normal human that reads this blog!
I've noticed a simliar increase in traffic to my blog and I had wondered where it might be coming from. I'd be interested if you see a difference with this post with the link suggestions declined.
The Faeit blog exchange still also contributes some traffic to my blog and there are a few other blogs that have a blog roll.
And to answer your question: Hey there! I go by the name of XarfaiEngel on the internet and by Paul in real life. I've been doing the miniature hobby without break since about 2009. Right now m obsessions are the Horus Heresy, Legions Imperalis and, as always, Middle-earth.
