Another wave
It started two hours ago. People are hunting for pro-anorexia websites, and landing on my site. (I am not "pro-ana," but I've blogged about these sites.)
They're coming from many parts of the globe. Most have never seen my blog before. Here's the log of my recent visitors, and the search terms that sent them (via Statcounter):

This last happened in May, when research about these sites was released. Why so much interest this morning? Has there been some news, or another research report? If anyone knows, please leave a comment. Thanks.

I don't know of any news stories, and just did a good news search and there haven't been any super recent print news stories on it. There was, however, a documentary on eating disorders on PBS on monday, but I don't recall them mentioning pro-ana sites.
Perhaps part of the research for Mr Cruise's antipsychiatry movement?
The View did a segment yesterday on pro-ana sites.
Thanks, I think that explains it. I wonder how many are simply curious, and how much voyeurism plays a role.
Yea, I saw an article on msnbc news website that talked about how shows on Fox are promoting shows like "Starved" and "Fat Actress" that talk anorexia and other eating disorders. The article also mentioned pro anna sites as well.
