It feels like there must be some sort of automated visitor(s) to the home page registering as real views, but no idea if that's possible/realistic.

Anyway, if someone was linking to me, they must have suddenly lost interest!

Ah well, at least I can once again figure out how many of our postgrads are bothering to keep up to date with our careers info (as long as it remains stable).

I often get these spikes on my Flickr stream, it usually means someone (more popular than me) has linked to my content.

Apart from the odd day when the stats have dropped like a stone, they've remained like this until about 8 days ago. They've since dropped back to their previous level.

Anyone seen anything similar? I contacted Support back in August, but they reckoned the sudden increase was genuine (v. hard to believe).

Never thought I'd be happy to see my stats plummet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they stabilise here for a while, as the recent figures have masked any chance of monitoring the real reach of my blog (http://manchesterpgcareers.wordpress.com)
