I have a website and it tells me when people have seen it.
It tells me what city, how many times they looked and what pages they looked at.
Just had a question, why on earth would someone from China and Russia be looking for childcare here?
It wasn't just once, it was 20-30 times.

Maybe they are moving to where you live?
Maybe getting ideas on how to do a website or child care ideas?
Do you have a blog or post ideas at all?

no, just a lot of pictures and it's creepy that so many people can see them...I know that's sorta the point of advertising and having a website I just don't like it.

what company do you use and is it a paid site?
I get those scammers all the time from craigs list that and from my site too that will tell me that their child is coming to the states for 3 weeks blah blah blah....lol
Also, believe it or not...and I can vogue for this.... A lof of other counties want to offer "American style services"
it is a dream of a lot of people to go to america, let alone to live in THE usa..
It was once my dream and it came true..... NOt putting anyone on here down, but despite the issues america has, Americans have it very very good....
I would be a little flattered if I there were other people from afar looking at my site.....
I could be wrong, but lets try to look at the positive side of it...lol

My personal favorite is when they say they are a doctor. They don't capitalize their i"s and their first names and it's almost always an offer of $500 per week etc.
Oh, and I use vista print and yes I'm stupid enough to pay $23 per month for it but I just about ended up in the loony bin making this one website... so I'm sorta stuck

I paid for a domain name for yola and got a silver website for $125.00 for 3 years. This means that my domain name is mine and secure for that period of time.

Wow Michelle, that is a lot of money! I use homestead.com and it is $4.99 per month. It is very easy to use and they offer all kinds of support. They even call you occasionally to see if everything is working out and they can offer any help. I paid for 2 years and it is about to expire in May. I am not sure if I will renew or not when it comes due again as I am full until 2016 and I then plan to retire from providing full-time childcare and just care for my grandchildren. I will be 51 by then. Yea this is possible! I feel a little better now and I have the same problem with CL ..I am so tired of these emails.

Right now I am full to capacity with 5 full time children plus my 2 year old grandson. 4 of my past moms with children who all left to go to school just had babies. One wants to return this May, Two more in September, One next November and one pregnant mom is due next May so May 2013 for this last one. Homestead is also the same as what you describe, you can see who, when, how long your site has been viewed, which pages etc.
I have never advertised my site I only used it for sending out to prospective families as mostly everything about me and what I offer are there.
If you would like to see my website pm me and I will send the link.

I use vistaprint also but I have the basic package that is $9.99 and that package offers enough for me.
I agree with daycare. I'm sure if some of the providers on here have posted their websites before they will see a visit from thousands of miles away (me from Texas) lol because I'm always visiting for more ideas.

China and Russia are spammers. Most likely they are spidering through the database of your website provider. If you saw how many IPs I block from those countries everyday you would understand.

This is most likely the case if you have your website advertised on craigslist. I get these emails all the time too.I get those scammers all the time from craigs list that and from my site too that will tell me that their child is coming to the states for 3 weeks blah blah blah....lol

Wow, I didn't know that, China and Russia are spammers. Most likely they are spidering through the database of your website provider. If you saw how many IPs I block from those countries everyday you would understand.
will it affect my computer? or are they looking to do identity theft?

This is why I don't put pics of kids on my site or in my CL ads - only pics of my facility. I think its creepy that anyone could be looking at pics of my son or my DCKs. My mom worked in law enforcement in a division that handled missing and exploited children, she's made me very paranoid no, just a lot of pictures and it's creepy that so many people can see them...I know that's sorta the point of advertising and having a website I just don't like it.
