The strangest thing is happening with this blog.

Something in the entry for March 2 has attracted 90 TIMES more visits than the average readership for just about any other entry. And I can't figure out what exactly about that day is attracting page views.

The entry is about a heat sensor I was using in an Arduino experiment. The only things about the entry of significance was a Chinese address from which I had obtained the sensor and the specific name of the sensor: DHT22.

That page can't be attracting readers because it is important or funny or significant in any way. The page views must be from specific searches or robots programmed to look for certain key words.

In either case, the only two things likely to be of such specific inquiry are the sensor (and that Chinese address. Everything else in the entry is vanilla information.

To test my theory, I added the Chinese address at the bottom of a subsequent entry. If people or content robots were looking for that address (or part of that address), I should see a rise in its page view. So far, nada.

I guess a second test will be this page: the specific name of the sensor. DHT22
