I was checking my stats today, when I noticed that in the past hours, I got over 100 hits.  Being curious by nature, I logged onto statcounter to check out when was going on!  That when I noticed way too many lines from the chrome browser.  The entries looked like this following "Chrome 13.0Linux 1024x768" ISP = Amazon.com and practically all were from Seattle Washington.

 

Normally, I'd go into my host and  block that particular ip address, but the person that is running the worm or whatever, has it so that ip address always changes.  Huge bummer!

 

Anybody else experiencing this and what did you do to make it go away?

Send an email to your host to see if they can block it.

Hi.  Why would you want to block it?  Can this kind of repeat visit cause some kind of damage to your blog?  Just curious.

A 100 hits an hour shouldn't be anything to worry about, not enough to hit your bandwidth or disrupt your website. I would just keep an eye on it until whoever it is will gets bored.
