   I realise this sounds like a fantastic problem to have (!) but I'm unsure whats going on with my site stats - according to them I'm now (in the last three days) getting hundreds and hundreds of visits from searches for halloween (and similar terms like halloween pictures) in search engines. The problem is that I have no idea how these people googling halloween are getting to my blog - I get to page 45 and still no sign of me in the search results!

   Am I being stupid/missing something? Any advice gratefully received!

   thanks, Kerry

   The blog I need help with is kerrycooks.wordpress.com.

   I'm having the same problem. It's some kind of scam.

   I have had that happen to me. Do you have a picture on your blog having to do with Halloween?

   Do a google image search of Halloween and you might find that your picture is one of the first hits.
