Whilst I was on my recent cruise, I did not have the opportunity to see how many hits this blog had received. It was therefore something of a shock to discover that there seems to have been no let-up in the number of hits it has been receiving each day.
Is it down to AI bots? I have no idea if it is or it isn't ... and I keep expecting there to be a sudden and rather drastic change in the daily hit rate sometime soon.
12,000,000 hits!
It was only the at the beginning of March that my blog’s hit counter reached ten million hits … and yesterday it passed twelve million!
- Eleven million hits: 3rd March 2026
- Ten million hits: 3rd February 2026
- Nine million hits: 16th December 2025
- Eight million hits: 4th October 2025
- Seven million hits: 26th July 2025
- Six million hits: 6th September 2024
- Five million hits: 20th January 2024
- Four million hits: 8th November 2021
- Three million hits: 6th December 2018
- Two million hits: Unsure
- One million hits: 25th December 2015
For what seems like the umpteenth time over recent months, I would like to extend a very big THANK YOU to my regular blog readers. Without you continuing to read and comment on my blog, I am sure that I would never have reached these many hits.
Here's to reaching thirteen million hits … which at the current rate, could be sometime next month!

This is absolutely all about AI. My own blog went from single digits per week up to hundreds now.

DeleteI hope that some of the hits aren’t down to AI bots!

Bots or no bots, congratulations! When if it is mostly AI, it still means your blog meets its definition of a high interest site.
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteCheers! I have been told that AI bots ‘like’ my blog because of the hyperlinks I use in my blog posts. Apparently, they like to follow them.
All the best,
Bob
So I asked Google Gemini to give me some info on learning where the source of your traffic comes from. I used this prompt, "How can I track the source of hits on a blogspot blog" and it gave me a rundown on how to track the info. I'm sure if you plug that promo in the machine, it'll give you the same explanation it gave me. This could give you the insight you may be looking for to learn more about your visitors.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pavone,
DeleteThanks very much for the very helpful suggestion. I'll give it a try over the weekend.
All the best,

BOB,
ReplyDeleteI look at your site two or three times a day -which doesn't mean millions per month. I think it is AI bots. Cheers. KEV.
