My writing website stats are up in general, and most notably include over two hundred views for the Black Flag character info page (which I won’t give a url for because it’s a supplemental page to the character list page, and if you jump to it directly without saying which character you want info on, it comes up blank).
There is a reason why my site stats might take a jump in the past few days, (I suddenly became more active on Baen’s Bar and the site url is in my sig) but none I can think of why that one page would get so many more than its fair share of those hits.
My current theory is that the Black Flag character page just got hit by a load of bots that my stat program did not recognize as bots, and the conjunction of the high views of that page with improved ‘repeat visitors’ and ‘time spent per visit’ stats is just a coincidence.It would be nicer to think that several people were so curious about the Black Flag characters that they wanted a closer look at every single one, and then went and told their friends, who also took a closer look at every single one, etc, but until I find some more supporting evidence for that one, I think the bot theory is winning the plausibility stakes. 🙁
