I noticed that the last week or so my number of followers has been increasing exponentially. I was on 250 followers one week ago and now my "fan base" has grown to over 360.
It seems that every time I post a new blog I instantly get a lot of new followers. I've heard other people experiencing this as well, but I still don't know why this happens (if there's any reason for it). Does anybody have a clue what's happening?
Just as an experiment I'll be tracking whether this also happens after this blog. I will update you in a comment shortly after I post this blog.

Indeed very annoying. Good to read the reactions under your blog. I surely will not be following these bots.
