Of all the dirty tricks..

I’ve been noticing that in sheer.us’s statistics page, there’s rather a unusually large number of unlikely referrers.. things like

3 148 2.12% http://mature-mature.net
4 142 2.04% http://free-cumshot.org
5 142 2.04% http://mature-movie.net
6 139 1.99% http://nude-mature.net
7 139 1.99% http://voyeur-web.ws
8 138 1.98% http://anal-sex-picture.org
9 138 1.98% http://big-tit-picture.org
10 138 1.98% http://cum-shot-cumshot.net
11 137 1.97% http://free-big-tit.net
12 137 1.97% http://mature-gallery.biz
13 137 1.97% http://mature-woman-x.com
14 136 1.95% http://big-tit-movie.net
15 136 1.95% http://cumshot-picture.net
16 136 1.95% http://facial-cumshot-x.com
17 136 1.95% http://free-voyeur.info
18 136 1.95% http://mature-sex-x.net
19 136 1.95% http://upskirt-video.net

Finally it occured to me what is going on here – people have figured out that web pages with links to their webalyzer stats are being search-engine crawled, and so they are adding these entries in order to increase their search engine footprint.

Well, screw that. 😉

I can see a well-placed robots.txt file is in order here – I don’t particularly want to help porn sites increase their web footprint.

    makes the interesting point that perhaps web stats should be private, period.

    I don’t know if I agree with that or not. Seeing that there is in fact activity encourages a site.. especially one that is seriously stagnating..
