I suspect that those stats of country of origin aren't always accurate. I do not believe that there are a large number of readers in China, though it tells me there are. What I think is that my blog is somehow being used abroad for something fishy. Occasionally spam comments come through. They are funny, usually not relevant to what I have written about, and really bad English. I did though once get a comment on a post written in French. I had to have my son-in-law, who is fluent in French, translate it for me.

I really don't believe that the Chinese have a desire to read what a middle aged white woman from America thinks. Nor do I think people in Kazakhstan care either. Most of the time I question the validity of the U.S. readership:) Stats can be skewed easily. We can make something look better or worse very easily with a spin.
The one area that I know is correct is the amount of people who surf for porn and click on my blog post titles from a Google search thinking they are going to get an eye full of porn. I regularly have massive reads on post titles such as, "Cleavage Wars", and "A Salute To The Small Breasted Gals". I track their entry point on Google and it is a porn search. It gives me pleasure and comfort to know that I basically performed a bait and switch on them.
I am desperately hoping to pick up a reader or two in some other strangely obscure country whose first language isn't even English. Accomplishing that feat will most definitely make me feel like I am impacting the world, or possibly like I am being used as a spam front across the continent of Asia. Either one is a feather in my cap for me. I mean really, who cares about real readers, fake ones will do
Like ABC's Wide World of Sports program with Jim McKay, that aired from 1961-1998, said in its weekly introduction . . . "Spanning the globe . . ." That's what my blog is doing:)
