Strange referrals

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 05.2013

Hi all,

hope this is the right section…

I have launched a new web site recently at [url]www.root-sounds.com[/url].

In looking at my traffic statistics, as of a couple of weeks ago, I get very strange referrals from completely unrelated sites, most of them from Russia (like [url]www.somesite.ru[/url]). These are some girlie sites, though not exactly porn, and some I don’t even have a clue what they’re about, as I don’t read the language. I can’t find a mention of my site anywhere on these pages and they’re obviously not about music production as in my case.

Any idea what this is about?

Thanks,
Stefan

@Kevin2Dec 06.2013 — Welcome to "referral spam" -- look it up. I guarantee you did not "create a backlink on a doorway page, [etc.]" (to refute SEO Land), they just do it. You can use .htaccess to block some of it via IP or by keywords in the "referral" pages.

Success!
