Thanks for that Chris, yes it had occurred to me that this may account for some but the numbers can fluctuate but are generally increasing six months ago 20-30 a day now more like 150 -350 a day.

A couple of years ago, I looked up the addresses of the systems that were looking at my One-Name Study site and found that most of those from the USA were government sites. Now I do recognise that the US government may allow its employees to use government equipment for their hobby, but I do suspect much may be official scanning. If the USA does it, why not Russia and other governments? If an individual contacts me - that is another thing.

Hi John - as someone else suggested - maybe it is the "naughty people" looking to make use of your site, or people seeking advice and guidance on legal matters. One day I will go back over the access logs for my site and see what the picture is now. I understand that there are sites which list the IP addresses of known "naughty people" - and I should take advantage of it - but keeping my blocking list up to date is not something I would remember to do. May be there is a free service from one of the "big" companies. Having a One-Name Study site which is an easy target is not something I would like to be known for. Ummmm.
