  Hello

  I was wondering if you would mind giving me some feedback – yesterday’s post (http://toaustraliathelongway.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/waterfight-carnage-songkran-2012/) was my most popular post by about 40 hits. However, there were only 9 google searches that led people to my blog, and most people weren’t clicking through from facebook or WordPress. I also got 22 people the post from UAE, a country which has never shown up in my stats before.

  My question is where did all these people come from if they’re not searching for the blog, never visited before, not clicking through from facebook? Why was that post more popular than the others? I would appreciate any feedback please!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You’re welcome.

  Note: Why doesn’t the number of referrers add up to the number of total views?
