Unexplainable Surges

A snip I have noticed unexplainable surges in my stats, and it just doesn’t make sense. For example (as pictured), beginning Jan 31, I have 30, 23, 38, 28, and 21 views. Typical for my site. But then on Feb. 5 views jump to 497 and then today I’m already…

A snip

I have noticed unexplainable surges in my stats, and it just doesn’t make sense. For example (as pictured), beginning Jan 31, I have 30, 23, 38, 28, and 21 views. Typical for my site. But then on Feb. 5 views jump to 497 and then today I’m already at 183. How does this happen? And the weird thing is the number of likes just doesn’t jive with the number of visitors. Does anyone else experience this or have any idea why it does this? I would love to have stats like this, but I just don’t feel it’s legit. This has happened several times before.

Yes, this happens to most people from what I can tell, it’s bot traffic.

Interesting. I have seen several similar posts from other users reporting the same sort of spikes over the past few days, seems bots are out scraping data from sites.
