Spam Annoyances…

Posted by Ben on December 5th, 2003

See that list of referers over on the right-hand bar? Sometime in the last couple days, some winner decided to basically spam the referer log by creating fake visits to my site in order to get his page listed.

As the BOFH might do…

*clickety*
DELETE FROM `refererLog` WHERE `baseDomain` LIKE 'cpc-consulting.net'
*clickety*
Deleted rows: 269 (Query took 0.0292 sec)

Mischief managed!

It’s kind of ironic because if you have Google translate his site from German to English, the “service” he sells is techniques for getting your site ranked highly in Google. Maybe fate will be kind and this article will show up high in Google’s index for people looking for his site. ;)

    That’s a nice looking guy ;) (see “Über uns”) and he has a contact form as well on his page…
