I started a new blog in February.  I have not given the URL to anybody.  The only publicity I've done, is to casually mention that I would be blogging about that subject matter. 
Today I casually look at the stats for that site, and low and behold:
- The most hits are from Iran;
- The biggest traffic generator is a site in Singapore;
Whilst it is nice to know where the traffic comes from, the statistical data provides nothing that explains the source of the traffic.
