Hey, all. Just a weird little question for you... When checking my stats, I notcied under the search engine referrals that people are apparently getting to my site by typing "earthlink-peoplepc-wssynd"

 

Sorry if I'm revealing my web ignorance, but I have no idea what this phrase is or what it means and I can all but guarantee it's not in my site (which is for my band and has nothing to do with ISPs or computers)... Has anyone else seen this or know what this is? Someone, enlighten me... Thanks.

I'm guessing that that string is related to referrer spam -- it's nothing to worry about, and doesn't actually reflect any content or genuine inbound links to your site. We've had some discussion of this kind of referrer spam, but I couldn't dig it up via a search. Anybody remember that thread?
