Nitecruzr.Net Hits The Big Time

This morning, we're seeing a discover of questions inward Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.

Why are my Stats displays showing

No stats yet, banking venture lucifer dorsum later.

yet again?

and to a greater extent than interestingly

"blogging.nitecruzr.net" is showing multiple hits inward my Stats log!

And none of this is actually surprising, personally.

The bad guys, who convey been serving diverse waves of referer spam against the many Blogger blogs, convey late included "nitecruzr.net" inward their lists of websites, falsely advertised yesteryear their attacks.

I've been using this spider web log to verbalise almost spam, inward general - too almost referer spam, inward particular - for years. This week, the people who operate the referer spam networks are targeting me, inward a Joe Job attack, using Stats logs to confuse Blogger spider web log owners.

In criminal offense novels, it's called a "frame up". In networking, what they are doing is vaguely like to a "smurf attack", using the diverse Blogger spider web log owners, inward an get to overwhelm the forums.

What fascinates me is how referer spam industrial plant - which inward plough is why it can't hold upwards blocked. And the several purposes of referer spam - which is why it volition hold upwards alongside us, forever.

I gauge I should hold upwards flattered. Let's assay to keep it inward perspective, though - too keep working on your blog.

Stats Non Displaying Private Posts, Inward Exceptional Lists

For several days now, we've seen diverse reports from anxious Blogger spider web log owners, inwards perceive, in addition to report, the ongoing problem.

If you lot await at the Stats Overview or Posts display, for whatever spider web log alongside whatever popularity, inwards the "Now" or "Day" fourth dimension range, you'll probable run into the good known advice

No stats yet, banking concern fit dorsum later.

When initially reported, this was alone visible inwards the "Now" fourth dimension range. Now, the consequence is seen inwards "Day", in addition to for some, less consistently trafficked blogs, inwards "Week" also. The consequence is visible, consistently, inwards both the Classic GUI (brown / nighttime blueish display), in addition to the New GUI (2011) (brown / orangish on white display).

This work is apparent, for close blogs, inwards the "Posts" tab.
Most blogs alongside consistent traffic volition present this affecting alone the item Posts lists. The "Now" in addition to "Day" Posts lists, every bit noted, present "No stats yet, banking concern fit dorsum later.". The "Week", Month", in addition to "All time" Posts displays present the Posts lists from before the work kickoff occurred. Both the Posts names inwards the lists, in addition to the pageview counts for each postal service listed, are frozen.

This spider web log shows no consequence inwards pageview counts, exterior the Posts item lists. I've carefully examined the graphs for "Now", "Day", "Week", "Month", in addition to "All time", inwards both the Classic in addition to New GUI, for this spider web log - in addition to I don't run into whatever count discrepancies. Your observations may handgrip or disagree - in addition to I await your comments.

We accept a Rollup discussion, inwards Blogger Help Forum.
We accept the latest moving ridge of referer spam; I am today trying to cause upwards one's hear if the ii events are related.

An before outage may hold upwards related to this problem.
We likewise had an interesting 2 lx minutes outage, a calendar week ago, where no Stats information (counts, or details) was available for the previous calendar week - in addition to roughly spider web log owners are wondering if that number is related. We accept no references for the latter episode, every bit nosotros escalated that work inwards existent time, in addition to Blogger Support was able to ready it, immediately.

That work was consummate (as noted, both counts in addition to details were available), it was immediate (it showed on all Stats displays for the previous week, retroactively), in addition to it was total (the immediate nature in addition to consequence on the forums made it an obvious BloggerFire). This problem, according to my observations, is neither.

(Update 18:00): Blogger Support has fixed this problem.

Stats Non Displaying Newer Posts, Inward Posts Lists

The problem of concluding week, alongside Stats, was fixed slow yesterday, in addition to our Stats displays 1 time once again are showing Posts pageview counts in addition to enumerating private Posts. Now, nosotros accept a perceived problem, existence reported yesteryear newer spider web log owners.

My Stats display does non demo my newer posts!

This work organization is visually valid - but it's non real. It's virtually mutual alongside blogs that accept precisely over 10 posts, which are owned yesteryear people who are non aware of the Stats display limitations, equally nosotros accept explored.

The Stats Posts displays enumerate the 10 virtually pop posts, for whatever given fourth dimension period. Newer posts volition seldom look inwards the Posts lists, for many blogs.

• The "Posts" lists enumerate private posts, in addition to shows pageview counts for posts viewed inwards unmarried postal service view. Newer posts volition hold upwards displayed inwards their entirety on the principal page, in addition to read equally principal page views.
• The lists demo alone the 10 virtually pop posts. Newer posts, non however indexed yesteryear the search engines, or linked yesteryear your readers, won't accept equally many inlinks - in addition to the postal service page URLs won't instruct out equally much traffic from other blogs in addition to websites.

Owners of newer blogs volition non hold upwards aware of these details - in addition to alongside precisely over 10 posts, may non run across the significance, inwards their Stats displays. These owners volition but see, from fourth dimension to time, posts that don't look inwards the lists.

If you lot hold off at the principal page, for this blog, you'll run across purpose of "Jump Break" inwards my newer posts. Each of these posts, to hold upwards read inwards their entirety, tin alone hold upwards read using the "Read more" link - in addition to from the private postal service page. Look at the address window above.

Since you're viewing these words, this postal service is existence counted inwards Posts, equally a pageview. Thus the Posts lists, for this blog, volition enumerate this post, sooner.

Here, nosotros run across unopen to other practise goodness of using "Jump Break" over other car summarisation techniques. The "Jump Break" links bespeak to the unmarried postal service persuasion of each postal service - in addition to it uses HTML, which makes it search engine friendly. Some previous car summarisation techniques used JavaScript to shroud the total postal service content, preventing search engines from indexing the total postal service text.

Besides encouraging the postal service content to hold upwards read equally a postal service page, the search engines volition index postal service content inwards the postal service pages. The archive retrievals, in addition to principal page, volition alone listing the partial content of each postal service - in addition to search engine striking lists will incorporate to a greater extent than relevant content.

The Stats All Fourth Dimension Display, Together With The 2010 Numbers

Occasionally inwards Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, nosotros run across a curious question.

My weblog Stats display is missing a consummate year.

The employment is truly correct there, inwards front end of all of us - if nosotros look.

Look at the Stats Overview tab, in addition to the graph at the travel past times of the display.

What happened to "2010"?


My suspicion is that it's a deliberate omission, to teach the graph to agree inwards the express horizontal space. How volition they teach "All Time" to agree inwards that space, every bit the Stats display gets older, in addition to "All Time" covers to a greater extent than years?

That beingness the case, it should non live on that much operate to add together a trivial "broken line" symbol inwards the border, betwixt "2009 October" in addition to "2011 March". Look how smoothly the describe of piece of work flows, inwards my graph, correct through 2010. What does your weblog show?

Fast forrad to 2015, in addition to we'll know the answer.

And inwards 2012, nosotros at ane time run across the same display oddity amongst the numbers from 2011.

The Stats All Fourth Dimension Display, As Well As The 2011 Numbers

Occasionally inwards last twelvemonth - for 2010.

Look at the Stats Overview tab, in addition to the graph at the transcend of the display.

There's Dec 2010!
There's Jan 2012!!
What happened to "2011"?


My suspicion is that it's a deliberate omission, to become the graph to tally inwards the express horizontal space. How volition they become "All Time" to tally inwards that space, every bit the Stats display gets older, in addition to "All Time" covers to a greater extent than years?

That beingness the case, it should non live that much function to add together a piffling "broken line" symbol inwards the border, somewhere betwixt "Septermber 2010" in addition to "May 2012". Look how smoothly the business flows, inwards my graph, correct through 2011. What does the graph for your spider web log show?

Fast frontwards to 2015, in addition to we'll know the answer.

Life is amount of mystery. Why non but bargain amongst this one, in addition to deed on?
