  How is it possible that someone posted a comment at 6:09 am today, and yet my site stats show 0 visits today?

  The comment that was posted today appears to have been a spam comment left by a bot, and bots aren’t tracked by our stats system.

  The usage of facebook.com as a URL is an attempt to get past most first-time-approval anti-spam systems. In theory, if you were using such a system, you would have approved the comment, thus allowing the bot to send further comments with the actual spam URL.
