Referral Spam

I have occasionally gotten some weird websites in my referrer logs, but I noticed recently that someone has been referring to me with weird porn URLs. I think I've found the source.

I clicked on this page from my referrer logs to find out there is a company that will insert your blog URL into the referral logs of other blogs for a fee of $1500CDN. It's called viral marketing (a more acceptable example is the tagline at the bottom of emails sent through free email services).

Not only does it make it harder to see where your visitors are coming from, it also mucks up Blogdex. There are much better ways to get traffic. Like, say, writing interesting and timely posts.
