More new followers than site visits
-
I am curious. Over the last few days I have seen an unusual amount of new followers. When I checked my stats, it appears I have had more new followers than visits to my site.
Curiously all of the new followers have latin based names as their mail addresses.
Shoudl I be worried ?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi hairygoose,
If you feel that they are spam followers, WordPress.com is aware of this issue and working on it. As part of fixing this they are also removing the spam follows, so you don’t need to remove them manually unless you want to.
