0Noticed a very strange behavior/pattern for my store visit count. Could this
be normal? From min 1 to min 4, no visit count, but on min 5, visit count increase
28 of them. And it’s been very consistent this whole morning. Tried closed
the store, same thing happen. Mind that I don’t visit my store page, only “view
profile”, so my own viewing profile don’t count as store visit. Worry there
is a bug targeting my store, or a system glitch. I mean it’s very repeat on
the spot and increase 28 exact visit count on minute 5, can someone help explain
why this is? TIA 🥹

I'm experiencing a similar thing, my visit count was roughly 3000 this morning
and now its 4170.

I'm pretty sure mine is jumping up more frequently than every 5 mins and
its jumping up by varying amounts.

Interesting. A few moments ago, I when into your store to look at the Visit Count
which stood at 4,941. I immediately hit refresh and it had jumped to 4,950. That
just might've been the effect of your post bringing curious visitors, though
I doubt it

Perhaps look at your own store visits and take down the count now and 5 minutes
later a few times. See if your store count increase same amount every 5 minutes
will suit this topic better? (Don’t get me wrong, thank you for visiting my
store, very much appreciated) but I am trying to get to the bottom of this weird
activity. Just fingers crossed, not a system glitch or a bug of some sort.

... and we're not experiencing the same. All normal here.

That’s exactly the problem, we are not a store that’s “top seller” or “famous
for having lots lots”, and don’t have the same level of visit counts that your
store has. This morning’s unusual pattern seems very out of place.

Don't get too worked-up about this, is my "top and famous seller" advise:

I'm sure you're fine. Other smarter folks will no doubt chime-in with
further advise though.

Thank you Cory. The advise from more experience seller ease my worries…hopefully
it’s not a bug. Thanks again for everyone who took the time to comment here.

Hopefully the 1,000+ visits I've had today is authentic and someone is about
to buy the entire store...

I guess Google at least and maybe some other engines are crowling every store
they've heard of, one way or another...
