Recently, I have a gotten a couple of strange referrals. They come from different URLs, but all look the same. These refer to one of my older posts with a rather simple URL something like “http://buy-my-stuff.com/” and nothing else. It will be a commercial site rather than a search engine, blog or other such site. Strange. Accessing these sites, I usually get some form of "This account has been suspended" message.
I can only assume that this is a form of referral spam. I know some blog engines place their referrals at the bottom of the blog psgr itself. This would make it a good technique for people who are trying to juice their search engine position. Since the .Text referrer listings are not public, it would not seem to work on GWB. It is not a particular problem, just strange. Anyone else seeing this?
