Fail for the day - Blogger Spam

From time to time, I check the little "stats" box on blogger to tell me what searches bring people to this blog, what posts are read more than others, etc.  Hint - anything with "running songs" or "running music", or names of popular companies like Ikea and Delta seems big. 

There's also this phenomenon called referrer spam, which are fake sites making it look like more people read a particular post than actually happened.  For more info on referrer spam, check here, here, and here.  How will I know referrer spam when I see it?  Well today almost 1,000 people read a post from 2008, 700 of their friends read one from 2007 and 100 people read something about Delta I wrote two years ago.  Or not.
