Refer Spam - be careful!

I'd noticed an increase in traffic in my blog stats, but the referring sites were unknown to me and I never click on an unknown link. So I Googled the sites without actually visiting them and found some interesting information.  They are what is known as 'Refer Spam'. Apparently, some of these sites can have malware or viruses and may also have p*rn, so never click an unknown link.

Here is some good advice about dealing with them: How to Handle Refer Spam
