Why do I always feel like somebody’s watching me?
I have a device set up on my blog called Site Meter – that tells me what sort of things on my web site are being read. It’s a marketing tool really to see what attracts people to your blog so that you can keep on writing about the same stuff. For me it’s a way to get to know my readers … see where they come from … what key words brought them to my site via a google search …. and where they landed on the blog. It’s FUN to see how diverse the reading audience is … and what topics interest all of you.

Cyber Sleuth
But what drives me absolutely totally bonkers is when people do a specific Google search using my full real name, the words “Willos Web” and then my pseudo name “Willo Keays”. I’m going nuts right now trying to figure out who is cyber-stalking me! AND … to make things MORE mysterious … the same person is looking for past members of my old chat room – The Rumor Mill. They’re doing a specific search on the people who chatted with me while we were casting for one of the reality shows. BUT WHY? Why are they looking for us?
And what’s even MORE funny is that this particular reality show just announced they were casting for their 9th Season … so when you stop to think about it you have to wonder … is this particular stalker a Casting Director for the show? And why are they so interested in all of those folks from the Rumor Mill?
AND WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT … why do I still care?! UGH!!
Every time I think I’m over that part of my life – I get sucked in again. I love a good mystery – just ask my mom. We’re having a ton of fun trying to figure out who the killer is on “Harper’s Island” this summer. So this latest cyber-stalking stint is hitting that desire to solve the mystery. And I can’t!
Here’s what I do know .. this person is logging in from the same IP several times a day. The IP is not registered – or it’s a hidden registry. A second IP is registering in from Bainbridge Island, WA and the third is a familiar one from Boyton Beach, FL. This 3rd one ALWAYS appears during casting for this particular show. Search words used are “willos web” “willo keays” specific other user names from the Rumor Mill, and a search for another weight loss support group that formed from the Rumor Mill.
Whatever information this person is looking for – they’re obviously not finding it. The Rumor Mill is long gone, all information from that time in my life has been removed from the blog, and I’m no where near interested in going through yet another gut wrenching round of “We totally love you … you’re still in the running … we’ll present you to the producer” just to be let down in the end.
So I guess I have to ask this cyber stalker to either send me a private note asking what you’re looking for … or to please leave me alone. I’d like to move on from all of that nonsense … and you’re making it quiet difficult!


Hi Willo
