well ok then, stats ho

as i said in my previous entry, if you missed the interview news and were looking for it (thanks for caring), it is here too... and now, on with this mostly serious and kind of important or at least good information for every blogger to know entry...

so ok, i have had my fun laughing about the ridiculous stats and tricks to encourage (lure?) unsuspecting people like you to come and read my babbles, but here is a serious entry on the subject (as serious as my entries get, at least)... i just spent most of the last half hour searching through my almost 5000 entries for any links to the sites that send lots of referrals to this blog... and i removed those links...

i refer to them as zombies and vampires and werewolves (oh my), among other names, because their site addresses have those words in the address itself and i found it amusing... but they can be dangerous to your computer and your blogs, so here is my public service announcement to correct my previous indescretions in associating myself however loosely with those and the other sites out there that looking for suckers... don't be one... as in don't click on those links if they appear in your stats ya hear?...

or, for those of you like me who will almost always rebel and click when i am told not to, have your virus program and malware programs up to date and running, please...

really truly caring seriously, take this good advice if you are finding lots of visitors from specific sites you don't know to your blog(s)... here is google's take on it... they have no solution to offer and even seem tired of hearing about it... annoyed, even... so as i said, take this good advice and just ignore those sites...
