| Re: I'm getting unwanted traffic! No links in their domain for your site, Idan.
They run a script against the entire zone file.
Some sites post their stats in web-accessible urls.
So, presto!, the sites that have exposed stats, (such as webalizer or awstats), will now be linking back to this guy's site. In turn, he gets thousands of links pointing back to him. It's to increase his pagerank, tho not as useful nowadays as it was in the past.
It serves other useful means still though, such as steering search engines that walk links into his site to be spidered.
Shameless plug - for those that are into this topic one way or another, I have referrerspam.com and referrerlogspam.com for sale.
Anyway, hope this info helps you out, MadCamel. |
