  I know….strange question. But after checking my stats, I’ve found that a number of followers appear to be fake – either bots or something like that, and I don’t want them messing up my stats or making my blog less Google-friendly. Any suggestions?

  Thanks,
  Matt

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