Blog issues not resolved just yet. One follower jumped on the band wagon, but it does not show who (hidden somehow?), and the last post has 600 some views (I rarely get 100 or even less).
Someone has put my blog onto a website as advertising or whatever, and I will put a stop to it. If not, well, we know what that will be.
I have already been hacked by one of our own family members, out of spite and hate (for whatever reasons).
Oh, and conveniently, blogger stats are "unavailable" today. So, I cannot see if it is the same website that is involved or not. The last website was a "publishing" website.
Eye rolling, because there are better blogs to steal content from, even though this blog has a copyright on it.
I will check stats and analytics throughout the day, and the next few days. Time will tell.

I am sorry you are having issues. I am like you and generally know the visit count that is normal for me. Occasionally it will jump up by maybe 50 views but nothing outrageous.
I hope you can figure out what/who is causing it.
I just checked my visitors list and in the last day and a half it has jumped 4x the normal visits. When/if you figure out what is happening with yours will you please let me know too. The only thing I can tell from my stats is the "other" stats are insanely high
Boy, oh boy. I understand. Blogger has not allowed me to post anything at all for several weeks now. I can't figure out why. I've sent a message to the app designer and hope to get a fix, but if not, I will be done too. I hope to at least continue the access so I can comment on my blog list friends. (Like yours.) I sure hope you can get a fix for your issues.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Thanks and I hope to figure it out soon. The views are coming from places like craigslist, priceline, moneygram, etsy, apple, crunchbase (? ) most are advertising sites, and the others I have never heard of. I'm still working on it. These are not regular viewing followers either. I have yet to find the hidden follower, but hoping someone at blogger can assist with that.
So you are narrowing it down. Also outlets or aggregators might have linked to your blog, driving significant traffic.
Sorry that this is happening to you. I do hope you can manage to put a stop to it.
God bless.
That's weird because I just noticed that post from last Friday also has over 600 views. I usually have 200 or so. Hum
Be sure to look at where the views are coming from. There are more views coming from Kentucky Fried Chicken than anyone on blogger. Intel, priceline, and more places. If you have ideas or more tips, please comment. Debby, how does one remove their blog from an outlet or aggregator?
Following this. My excess views seem to be coming from somewhere unkn0wn
I don’t know if you can and especially if in the Privacy part of settings you have it open and Visible to search engines. I have mine turned off. There’s a little switch.
If you can find and their opt-out processes: They all allow individuals to request the removal of their personal blog link. or you can use a
professional data removal services.
Today I was shocked the last 2 days my views have tripled. From places like Instagram, Liverpool.com.mx, nivida.com ( an AI factory in China) tokyo-u.ac.jp, yahoo, apple and more. I never noticed it before.
It would be great if I had google ads - could make some $$$.
I think there is a setting that you can use so that your blog is less visible to those bots:)
I wonder if some AI gurus have let loose their large learning models and are using our blogs for their learning exercises.
I do have my search to off on the search engines, and yet my views are now up to 500 on this post alone (crazy and not normal). I'm still working on it with more assistance. I added a page break for now, but the views continue to climb. Like Leigh said, it could be AI involved and with the limitations of blogger, and who views it. We are even unable to see followers in my case (could be your blog too). I hope to gain some info on all of this yet.
I have removed the last two actual blog posts with garden updates etc. (for now). I will continue to work on this. If any of you figure it out, please let us all know.
