    1. No comments, no trace--not even spam-filtered comments. The 272 page views is within the week.

    3. Dream on. I'm back down in the single digits.

      Google's theory is that the only purpose of these spambot hits is as clickbait. I.e., I'm supposed to see the URL in my stats, say "Hey, I could click on that!", and click on that. Not happening.
