I have created a blog on Tumblr a few days ago. Looking over the statistics, it seems that Tumblr itself is visiting my website, using different browsers. What is this supposed to mean? Are these real visitors or is it a Tumblr bot? One example:

  • Browser: Chrome 32.0
  • OS: Win8
  • Resolution: 1024x768
  • Location: New York, United States
  • IP Address: Tumblr (66.6.40.249)
  • Referring URL: (No referring link)

Other browsers used include:

  • Chrome 20.0.1090.0
  • Firefox 21
  • Opera 12.14
  • Chrome 15.0.861.0
  • Chrome 32.0.1667.0
  • Internet Explorer 6
  • Internet Explorer 9
  • Opera 12
  • Opera 12.02

They all use the same screen resolution (1024x768) and have no referrer. The flash version is not set, but they do support javascript. Unfortunately, I don't have the full user agent string.
