Today I went to check my site statistic for fun and have a look at the Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines)".
I saw a couple of suspicious links being displayed there....such as
companies who has nothing to do with web designing and adult sites.
There is only one adult site being displayed in Feb and for the month of
March..the number of unwelcomed links shoot up to at least 10.
Why is that so? Am I being used for something I do not know of? Not knowledgeable in this site statistic area. Should I just ignore?
Referer spam... If you don't publish the refererring urls anywhere they yes, you can ignore it.
Many sites (well, many weblogs) list the referers, sites that link to them, if you do this, you need to be aware of referer spam and put some measure into place to prevent displaying it.
