Kallery.net, is it spam?
Have you been getting a lot of page views from Kallery.net from South Korea? They appear to visit every blog and they really mess up with the stats. Here is my story:
After reading countless articles on how I can earn a six-figure salary through a blog, I have been blogging with a vengeance. Well, not really because I still have not signed up with Adsense and so I am earning nothing from blogging. However, occasionally (mostly when my employer irritates me) I do write several blog posts.
It was a relief to see that at least I had an audience-a whooping 3 views moments after publishing a blog post! I was ecstatic, but wait a minute, all the views are from one source: kallery.net. So South Koreans are finding my content interesting and worth attention?
The first thing I did was to click on the referring URL-can't remember where I ended up (Many bloggers say that they end up at porn galleries which is very weird). My instincts told me to be wary of spam, but I had already clicked on it out of excitement. I did a Google search on the site and found several complaints from bloggers like me who lamented about visits from the site which really messed up with the stats. Apparently, bloggers who use blogspot.com are the main culprits. Some bloggers in Google product forum said that Kallery.net was just interested in advertising products to bloggers.
I slumped into my seat. So I do not have a worthwhile audience after all? Maybe I should still continue writing academic articles and get them A+ grades.
