cryptoknight Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Any tips on how to get rid of the junk that's cluttering up my Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines) statistics in awstats? Here's my top 5 or so.. >http://68644.forum.onetwomax.de/selskin=0 187 3.8 % 187 3.4 % http://bandrakon.evergore.com/duelview.php 78 1.6 % 78 1.4 % http://phentermine.ltxt.com 71 1.4 % 71 1.3 % http://www.getinternetcasinos.com 61 1.2 % 61 1.1 % http://www.forpartypoker.com 58 1.1 % 58 1 % I don't run a poker related site... It's obvious I'm being spammed in some way back to my site... and polluting my legit Links from an external page stats... but I don't know how to stop it. Any tips?

TCH-Bruce Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 I know of no way to stop them. I have seen them in my stats as well but just ignore them. Quote
FireRandySanders Posted August 19, 2006 Posted August 19, 2006 we have the same problem on our site.....the first two months I started banning the sites, but everytime I banned one three more would pop up. Quote
austin Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Just an FYI, I think they are trying to game some search engines by linking to highly-ranked sites (which means you must run a decent site ). I see it every now and then - usually poker sites. They will try to ping or get a comment in on my site (most likely it's automated) - some site software allows for people to ping/trackback to you, and unfortunately, unless you are willing to sort it all yourself to make sure you get only legit responses, it's best to disable it.

Just_Rob Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 FWIW, aside from the stats page pollution, it in no way harms anything related to your site nor your SEO. Just annoying more than anything else. Quote
