The hits on my site www.epharmony.com jumped up daily during the first week of July by about 5,000 hits a day more than usual, and it all seems to be coming off a browser called "stormwatchnews" . Is this a problem I should know something about or be doing something about? If it doesn't mean I have a lot of new readers, then it's kind of misleading and I'd like to know what it means. Do I (or you) need to do something about it...? Is it like spam? I've googled it briefly but can't make much sense of it....
Thanks for any help you can give me.... Eppy Harmon/Nancy Pace
Looks like it is some kind of overanxious RSS bot, it's checking your RSS feed times a minute... I'll see if I can get in touch with the service that owns this bot to see if they can ease up a bit.

FYI, the company that runs this bot (www.skygrid.com ) did reply to my request and was very gracious, they agreed that the scanning was too aggressive and will be correcting that promptly. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
