Country stats not accurate
-
I’ve had my blog three months. Until a few days ago, the stats and country views matched. Now I am getting a lot more viewers than appear on the country list, and I am getting hits from Europe in the middle of their night, which can’t be right. I marked as spam two spam referral sites (one was semalt) and am no longer getting hits from Romania, Brazil, and Ukraine.
I am getting no traffic from the US. It’s a US site, and US traffic had previously dominated except for hits from some European friends I have.
This is a tiny blog that I haven’t really promoted yet, with virtually no readership. Anyone know what’s going on?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it. -
Um, okay. I don’t know what that means, timethief. I did subscribe. It looks like the topic has been tagged modlook? Did you add that?
-
Yes I added it :) because I thought maybe as you were new you would not know what I meant. Please be patient while waiting for Staff reply.

Okay, thanks! I am really baffled by all this. I chose WordPress.com for now as I did not want to worry about spam filters and what not.

I know it’s safe, but it’s so small that this fake traffic is, like, all my traffic at this point. I just asked someone I know to click in for me and see if I can register a US hit. It’s just weirding me out. But thanks for the reassurance!

Hello Valerie –
Your site is secure. Sporadic traffic from all over the globe is perfectly normal. Numbers will fluctuate, especially on a site which you are not actively promoting.
You have a really nice site, I’ve spent a lot of time in Maine and I’m familiar with the area a little bit. :)

It’s just strange how it all changed overnight like that or how I would appeal only to European insomniacs. But I guess that’s how it goes! Thanks for the compliment on my blog.

The internet works in strange ways –
I woke up one morning to find someone from I think Finland had put one of my low traffic (3 to 5 a day average page views) on their Facebook thing and I got I think 65 page views
