Traffic Slowing, Spam IncreasingFiled Under: General

Last week or so I did some rearranging on my site. For example, I converted some pages into actual blog postings, moved things around so I could choose a more streamlined page layout. After converting my pages (How to unstick a stuck pixel page) to posts, I noticed that the amount of traffic started a steady decline. At this rate, I may be the only viewer to my website

However, that is not stopping the spam bots. I seem to get around 20-30 spam comments a day which is confusing. Either they are posting directly via link or the Google Analytics is failing me, we shall see.

Edit: As it turns out, the plugin I was using to do tracking inserts gave my tracking ID of UA-000000-0 therefor my traffic was not getting logged at all. Started checking into after looking at the traffic logs on my server and seeing traffic.
