Package: webalizer
Severity: normal
Somebody is using by referrer logs for search engine spamming. They
set the referrer field to their webpage, and then hit my server enough
times that they end up in the top 30 referrers displayed in the
statistics.
If you look at
http://www.kollegiegaarden.dk/webalizer/usage_200501.html#TOPREFS you
can see that there are 13 entries with exactly 50 referrer hits, for
pages like http://paris-hotel-las-vegas.go.ro/ and
http://reno-hotels.go.ro/. Actually I think only 1 out of 30 items on
that list is genuine.
It would be a nice simple solution if webalizer supported rel=nofollow
(http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html). If
this was implemented then the motivation for this spam would quickly
disappear. Since the links has no real value for calculating page
value in the first place there seems to be no negatives involved with getting
them disregarded by search engines.
