Question For My Technologically Literate Readers
Aussie Dave | Nov 23, 2004 | 3 comments
My referrers list from the past few days indicates that I am receiving traffic from http://michellemalkin.com/. But when I go to this site, there is absolutely no reference nor link to Israellycool.
Any ideas as to why this site is appearing regularly on my referrers list?

I submit as a possibility that she may link to a site that links to yours and the logs list her as the originating site even though she does not directly link to you. I do not recall where I found your site, however, she has a lot of sites that I frequent and I am sure that I found your site via one of them such as a World Net Daily or the like.

It’s a trackback ping. I got to it with the search “israellycool site:michellemalkin.com”.
Another possibility is that her webmasters are spamming you by spoofing the HTTP-REFERER. I have pr0n sites do it to me all the time; it’s a trick to get you to click that link and/or increase their Google PageRank (if you have publicly viewable logs).
