586
As of 6 PM on Saturday April 28th, I had 586 page views today on my blog. That's about ten times my normal. They started trickling in around six this morning and became a somewhat steady stream. All day. They appeared to come from just the United States. But multiple web browsers.
At one point I noticed they were reading my blog consistently stepping backwards. The oldest entry was finaLLy read. But then there continued to be more page hits at about the same rate, only no named pages, it was just blog reading activity addressing the main page.
Surprisingly there were NO comments! How do you read back through what appears to be 500 plus reads without leaving a comment?
I have had a few days where I have had a hundred page views, but never two, three, or four hundred, certainly not 586 in one day. And any heavy volume days saw readers from over a huge number of countries. This seems very bizarre.
Update: 2012.04.29 05:40
The total for the previous 24 hours reached close to 900 then fell sharply back to normal at around midnight. This means that CindereLLa could be the cause.
If this is just some computer programming nonsense, why? Who has nothing better to do than pretend to read me?

That last question well OK I do have better things to do. Well when I say better I mean other things that I should do. But I'm a human being and we are not the most efficient of animals and it is raining windy and cold so YUK
I have noticed this effect when I used the dynamic views blog design but soon realized that it was all an illusion. The other thing is the page title acts as Meta tags so if you place a key search word in the title and say repeat it once or twice but not more than that in the text then for about a week if that word is goggled it can often put you on the first page of the search. although it will not work for words like Elvis or Steven Spielberg because there are just so many web sites about them.
However if you strike lucky and say use Genetically Modified Coach-roaches and two days later it crops up in the news then bingo you are top of the search engines. So maybe this is what has happened to your blog
The other option is that the CIA or FBI think you are writing in code and are about to swoop, so hide the short wave radio and cook (sorry code) book in the freezer. I will tell then you are not a spy and never leave documents in the bin in the park where that very nice Russian chap collects then from, leaving you large sums of money or chicken sandwiches...
Maybe someone was so fascinated and captured by your blogs that they decided to read every post youve ever written, but where initmidated by your vast knowledge and random use of capiTalL letters that they let any comment they left would not match your articulation?
Just a guess :P
Rob: I agree
Aysh: I agree
I don't believe anything I read on the Internet as I think it is all made up silliness. There is just enough believable to suck you in and then, bam, you start questioning your sanity.
fmcgmccllc: I agree. Frorn novv on I vviLL queztion your zanity. No, vvait, I arn thinking about Zanadu, never rnind.
&^)
Rob: here is a near palindrome: silver or Elvis
Aysh: actuaLLy my use of italics and capital letters foLLows certain rules and is rarely random. My knowledge is only half vast, not fuLL vast. But I am working on physics and lotza other stuff in order to try to get to 54 percent vast by my next birthday.
I confess. It was me. I figured you'd know it was me if I left all sorts of comments. (;
Marianne The Confessor: ReaLLy? It seemed rather robotic in nature, the regularity, the length of total time. Did you have help?
I reckon SOMEONE discovered your Bill Clinton post and decided to check you out...
The day after I followed Julia Gillard on Twitter I had a huge spike in page views and no comments. Could be your watchers are a little slower than ours or Bill Clinton is waaaaay down on their importants list.
Esbboston, try mentioning Obama a few times and see what happens.
Julie: it is a big mystery. I was talking to my wife about blog things and people today and I mentioned you. I told my wife how several people are common blog followers with each other. It is an interesting world ...
common blog followers I have noticed that a lot. I think it is to do with the way we find blogs
