Greetings WordPressers….
I don’t want to come off unappreciative or paranoid…but the past week or so I have had a marked increase in viewings from one location…like hundreds a day…and posts hit are ranging throughout everything I’ve posted…so either there’s a wonderful reality where someone is actually compelled by all I’ve written and want to work there way through its whole history…or…perhaps things are being copied? Should I be concerned? Should I just rejoice that someone’s finally reading it all? I’d love advice from some of you that have been here awhile and have a multitude of followers/readers?
Thanks so much…
N Filbert
If you’re copywrighting your work, I wouldn’t be too worried.
Lifting happens all the time. I remember my work was lifted once, some words were changed, but essentially the same damn poem on the same website. Really hilarious now that I think about it.
You might want to google phrases of your work and see if it’s copied anywhere. 🙂
good idea… thanks…
I don’t think any is copying your posts. If you are truly concerned copy and past a few sentences and see if any other blog but yours shows up. I hope this helps but I think people are just noticing your blog.
For example I can talk about me… Maybe you know this is not my native language sometimes, it could be difficult to understand. So it takes time for me. As I told before I love your writing style and hits me. But I read them as I study language too… But about your ask, I don’t know what to say, we are all like you, we share in this invisible enviroment… Thanks and Love, nia
that’d be fantastic!
thanks for taking the time to advise me
really was just curious…you know…so sudden the leap…usually I just get all excited like “hey! people are actually looking/reading stuff I concocted!”
Thanks nia
and thank you Turkey! where my readers are….perhaps I should try to publish THERE!?!? 🙂
You are welcome. Let me know how your Google search turns out.
will do, i appreciated that recommendation as i surely wouldn’t have thought of it
do you mean that people are coming to your site mainly from one other site? have you gone to that site to see what’s up?
Hi Rich, thanks for responding. I don’t know what site they’re coming from, just that suddenly I get days with like 250+ visits from a country that normally is 4 or so…so I was just curious…unaccountable popularity…or…had a weird feeling (because the visits were just walking through post after post)…i’m kind of a neophyte at these things (& technology) and was uncertain what it might portend
you can look at the stats page and see where people were before they came to your site – provided they were clicking to you from another wordpress page. maybe someone reposted one of your blog entries?
that’d be swell…i’ll check, thanks…
would that be “referrers” or “clicks?” neither one has more than 15-20 addresses and they all make sense. Ah the mysteries of life! In my happy place people just want to read my stuff. Which, thank you, by the way for visiting regularly, I really value your work and comments.
if i don’t read other people’s work, they’re not likely to read mine. no problem.
I tried a few random selections and they were either nowhere or right here – i’ll try a few others…but seems like perhaps a lucky few days of attention! 🙂
I have had weird visits, but not as many as you are saying. Like once I noticed my Akismet spam filter caught 100+ spam comments from one visit. Those kinds of visits are never from a referrer, oddly. I hope it is just you getting the avid and admiring readers you deserve!
And also maybe you were featured by WordPress on the main blog page!
you’re kind, thank you…it’s a mystery, i’m not complaining though 🙂
but only in Turkey?
