I’m getting 10,000 to 40,000 hits on a specifc blog post. How is it possible?
-
How do I track where they’re coming from?? It doesn’t seem to show on the blog stats (the referrers). Is this for real? How do I check? Help?

It’s easily possible. Some blogs here get over three million hits a day.
If you haven’t installed Sitemeter or Statcounter, go there and add their button in your Links so you can track things better. Here’s what my Statcounter gives me:
http://s28.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s28raincoasterIf the hits are coming to a particular post but you don’t have anything under Referrers that would come near explaining it, it might be someone trying to “break” your site by hitting it so often; it’s quite common for blogs on lesser servers to go down when demand like that happens. OR, and more likely, it’s just that you got picked up and mentioned offline, like on tv or in the newspaper or something.
Can you give us a link to the post? I’d like to see it myself. And congratulations.
If you contact staff directly there’s a chance they might be able to give you more information, but I can’t say for sure. Naturally you’ll want to know more about this phenomenon so you can do it again or avoid it as you choose! (PS if you don’t want those readers, send them to ME!)

@lobaf-Congrats!
@rain-There’s a note on sitemeter that says “The “Regular” Site Meter HTML code is easier to add to a page, but doesn’t allow you to track the original URL from which your visitors came before linking to your site.” So unless you can use the Javascript version (which, of course, we can’t on WordPress.com) sitemeter’s value in that area seems limited. (Impressive stats BTW.) :)

Yes, but other stat counters do give different information, and valuable info at that, as well as collate it differently. I find you can get more information by comparing two different stat programs; the wisdom is in the interstitial spaces. The World Map feature is particularly useful in Sitemeter.

What’s so strange? My counter is obviously already broken! LOL~
It’s +1 this morning at 23,995, and now +5 at lesser than 23,995.
LOL~
Take it easy, the database may be under working or what. -

Look, there is only one sane reason: The counter was broken down, and it’s is still broken.
How is it possible that you got 40,000 without any media online reporting?! Even Xiaxue of Singapore manages a 10,000 a day… so unreal.
40,000 for one post is… LOL~

From now on I am going to work under a pseudonym, “let’s see now what would be a good pseudonym CLICK Raincoaster…that’s a good’n” I never heard that one before….”
