Maybe, I am not the only one who is experiencing a new phenomenon of spam… When I checked my statistics for this domain “Ethicalinternetmarketer.com” just yesterday, I noticed a lot of URLs that I would never expect any visitors from.
You know the ones I mean, the buy-viagra-prolong-your best-body-part.com kind of sites. How are these guys doing this? Well, this is quite easy to do. They are adding your URL to their sites and then they are clicking the link themselves. And most of the times, they are clicking it multiple times because if they would be doing it just once, you probably wouldn’t notice it in your stats. At least not, if you are getting a lot of visitors.
It seems they are expecting that website owners are constantly checking their stats and as such are visiting the sites that have sent them visitors. Yes, I confess, I am sometimes doing exactly that. But what are they expecting – that I am buying a 10 bottles of viagra for Internet marketers? This kind of spam is completely untargeted and therefore I highly doubt that it is effective for these spammers…
I am speaking for myself now but I would NEVER buy anything from a spammer of any kind. I am not supporting these guys by buying the stuff the are trying to push down our throats!
What do you think about this? Are you noticing this trend on your sites as well?
I am waiting for your comments…
