I did that as soon as I started the blog.I have quite a few BS personal blogs on blogger.Once I get everything all sorted and set up the way I want,I'll export to WP with a better template.You're probably right on with the reg visits being creepy crawly things visiting the site.I didn't think they would register that many hits.I figured maybe 10 were crawlers and bots.I can do a google search for my niche and the blog shows up on the 2nd and 3rd page.I'm not sure if it's because of the host (blogger) or the domain name I chose.
Hehe
the world wide web is sneaky

there is tons of "unlegit" scripts runing out there
just for example i did start a website 1 month ago it was a dotcom domain
i did set up the website and add a phpbb forum to it
but for some reason (i did change my mind and target custumer ect) i was unhappy with the domain name and the niche and i forget it and dont toutch for 1 month
yesterday i did log in just for fun and i did realise that my forum have 294 member and 7390 new post/threads
all of those threads was total crap and advertising from affiliate marketer or mass backlinking software
People run scripts and program to auto visit/post on website ect ..build backlinks ectect
With work and time you will learn how to track and make the diference between real and fake trafic , i can claim 100% sure that all those post and members was not legit
the most popular your website is the most fake visit you will have
Wordpress self hosted site have good security plugin to screen fake post /visit and give you more forum and or website security
now im gonna give you a good advice to track your hops from your affiliate links to be able to realy track your efforts effectively
im gonna use screenshot of 2 FAKE links i did set up just for the purpose of the exemple
assuming you are promoting clickbank products
when you decide to promote a product and you click on the promote button you will be prompted with (see atached picture)
if someone click that link you will see in your clickbank report ....setting :week to date---hops---by tracking id (see atached picture)
that way you can track REAL hops ...from my point of view visit counts is only a kind of .."average not so acurate sheit"
you realy need to focus on tracking links that actualy give you hops
in my exemple i did use the name of 2 of my friend to set the tracking id but if you want a functional use assuming that you follow meathead method
i suggest that you set your tracking id for the forum/blog/website/outsource/employee/product name you post
***you can set up as many tracking id you want for the same product***
for exemple if you post or have a affiliate signature links on the "internationalpetcareforum" then i sugest you to use "internationalpetcareforum" as a tracking id for that particular forum
that way you will be able to see if your efforts worth the reward and were to put more energy and were to stop posting
website trafic is a good indicator but HOPS stats are the thing you want to monitor
** picture are fake and for example purpose only **
take care bro
