Mysteries of the Blog-o-Sphere

I recently had a run of 2-3000 daily page views. That added up to monthly hits unlike anything I've ever seen. I couldn't figure it out. From a website that was lucky to get a few dozen looks per day, I was suddenly getting thousands? Get the fuck outta here! I figure it was all bots from Singapore. That's where all that traffic was coming from. Then somebody turned the bots off. This website had 5 views on October 2. Looks to me like invisible internet hands have pulled the plug on this blog.
