Not Understanding Web Traffic

Yeah I know, a lot of hits come from bots and spiders.  I notice this when I publish an entry and within seconds, I get a hit.  I'm not lame enough to think that each hit is a result of real flesh-and-blooder.

What I can't figure out though is why this blog entry continues to get so many hits on a consistent basis.  The whole topic is so generic, it's a meaningless post and it's from two years ago.  I'm very cuious as to why.  What I also notice is that the referral source seems to be from Google with the term "fail" (pretty consistently) but I've tried to mimic the search results to see why and so far it escapes me as to how and why it's hit on so much - my #2 post and moving up the charts!
