Website Traffic

  • When I looked at the stats for a website that I will be replacing today, I noticed that there are several porn sites referring to it. Is this normal? The website is hosted by godaddy

  • Could you find any of your links on the pages of the referred pornographic sites?

    If not, I would assume that someone is visiting the pornographic sites and then visiting your/client's website.

  • I didn't go to any of them, they were all Russian sites and I didn't want to end up with a bunch of viruses.

  • According to the stats program these websites have links to the website I'm managing.

  • The porn sites are actually linking to the business website you are now managing? Or is it the other way around? If you had a bunch of outgoing links to a pornography site I'd assume it had linked embedded via some kind of attack.

  • According to the stats program the porn sites are linking to the site I'm managing. The website is for a town in Illinois.

    This is what the program says: The Referring Site Report identifies sites on the Internet that have links to pages on this site.

  • Hmm. I would probably google around and see if anyone else has had this issue.
