  I’ve got way more views than usual. Could it be some sort of spam thing?
  Thanks,
  Sara

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

  How do you know it’s meaningless? In virtually all cases here, it simply means that you’ve got something that has gone viral.

  We can help you more if you give us more information: Referrers, which posts are being viewed, search terms.

  Aww. That would be cool but suspect it ain’t.
  Tiny search engine numbers.
  655 twitter referrers otherwise negligible.
  Homepage 817 views.
  Latest post 353 views.
  (Usual views around 30-100 views)
  Retweet/Facebook on the latest post numbers 2 (which is less than usual)…

  Tiny search? Interesting. Did you mean http://www.tineye.com/? And they’re going to that particular post?

  “Tits” in a post title is always going to be clickbait.

  Thanks, googled my blog on twitter and I’ve obviously ruffled feathers. What are big numbers to me are nothing to the people moaning about my post.
  Thanks for the help,
  sigh.
