How do they find my blog?

Almost any browser computer program uses a version of artificial intelligence unless deliberate steps are taken to avoid AI.  Leading browsers are Chrome, Foxfire, Safari but there are several others.  So far, my own experience hasn’t changed much from the development of AI.  What did change my computer search experience was reading search questions and phrases that others had asked about the same or similar searches.  When a group of researchers discuss a problem among themselves, comments and others’ questions continuously inspire others in the group.  A family discussing a problem may produce ideas that no one in the group had before the group discussion began.


A friend asked how people in other parts of the world find my blog.  I am not sure but I am confident that several different avenues lead to reading my posts.  Google offers some statistics and information about blogs published by them.  A small portion of page views come from direct contact with Google Blogspot.  There is no restriction on access or subsequent use of my posts.


I had never seen reports of page views from a particular Asian country but then they started.  I searched the name of a person I had recently informed about my blog and found that person was an “influencer”, a person, often on YouTube that speaks that language and promotes ideas and products
