Odd Referrer
I got a really odd referrer on my blog:
Whatever it is, it requires a login. The home page's title is "Taiwan - GreenInternet." I did a Google search on that link and found it appears on a lot of heavily spammed pages referrer lists. Even more can be found for a search for that IP Address.
The visitor with that referrer also came from that network:
And a couple days ago I had a different visitor from that network:
They both read my post on unix-girl.com's Spamming Experiment. This and the other oddness makes me wonder if this is a spammer's meeting place or "SEO" business. Either way what does it mean that they are interested in this experiment.
