MY BLOG STATISTICS FOR THE LAST SEVEN DAYS…

It’s the “other” that has almost 42,000 hits that I wonder about!

Most hits are robots, hacking attempts, etc. You'll notice a cascade of hits rolling around the globe as the site is tracked, sampled, perhaps tested for vulnerabilities, by assorted groups whether by marketers, state security, hacking groups etc etc. I would say you get a truer handle on actual human view percentages by looking at I-phone and android hits, and even some of those will be banks.of phones set up in some scam artist cave .

As for the mystery "other", near as I can tell, if the web traffic source doesn't pigeon-hole neatly into one of only a few catagories, it is automatically slam dunked into "other", ALSO, their analytics is frugal on processing data, and so if you exceed the small budget in allocated processing of data gathered by the analytics, all those excess data points are rolled into "other" rather than them sort out the who/what/where or why. Keep in mind various legitimate and nefarious search engines are constantly generating hits. As said prior, much of the traffic is automated for good or bad.
