Hiding referrer spam urls.

Posted in Referrer spam on April 8th, 2006

Allegedly Allen of Internet Warriors is using GarbURL to hide his url when posting referrer spam . Below are some lines from one of our log files. Interesting idea. Why get your own domain black listed when you can hide behind someone else?

c-24-34-210-63.hsd1.ma.comcast.net - - [04/Apr/2006:08:18:55 +1000] “GET / HTTP/1.1″ 200 10801 “http://www.graburl.c*m/x.php?3×6″ “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MS

It would appear that viral-traffic-machine.c*m like to think that spamming referrer logs makes for a good marketing strategy. The following referrers turned up in our logs but there is not a mention of our url on any these pages.
