Hi. Have had 81 spam hits in past 45 minutes from alphainventions dot com. Any way of stopping this?
Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Alphainventions is not spam, however much it looks like it. Just contact the owner on his site and get him to remove you. He always honours those requests.

Most likely they will get tired of things and move on within a week or two or six. One never knows how obstinate they might be.
I would suggest temporarily setting your blog to hold first time commenters in moderation (settings > discussion) just in case one of the unruly buggers finds a crack to slither through.

I was thinking they were showing up in your akismet spam queue, but weren’t you talking about them showing up under stats as possibly incoming links?

alphainventions gets a lot of traffic and your Post is on it’s site somewhere with a title that must be appealing to make people click to your site – most people would kill for a few hundred more visits.

Well it is and it isn’t. They actually “fetch” your entire blog and put it into a window on their site and then it rotates around between a bunch of blogs and every time yours comes around on one of their visitors browser, you get a hit. I find absolutely no use for them, and I’ve had to have my blog removed from there listings 5 times now. I guess they don’t keep track, or didn’t keep track, or are just stupid or something. If all you are interested in is raw hits no matter the quality, and don’t care about actual real honest to goodness reader hits I guess it would be a good thing, but anyone wanting to see actual real readers and not bot hits gets the shaft when they swoop in. And it isn’t “opt-in” since they never ever ask, they just do it.
Quite truthfully I feel they should be strung up by their thumbs.

I’m having the same problem, but from a different site. Did they stop finding your posts eventually?

I get what appear to be similar referring hits from:
counter.visitorstatistic.com
sangcinta.com

Anyone know anything about them?
Thank you!

YIKES! Posting suspected spammers link or a suspected content thief’s link to our forums is not wise. Doing so simply encourages people to click it and that’s exactly what they want us to do.

I consider any site that scoops my blog and displays it in a iframe without my authorization to be a site that I want nothing to do with at all. I requested my sites be removed from that alpha site and I feel the same way that TSP feels.
Quite truthfully I feel they should be strung up by their thumbs.

Today I also received 5 views from: [Link redacted by: sl1k]
The site has been around since 1997 and is registered to Kim Jong Sung, who would appear to be a proxy, as it is hosted in Korea. I visited the site using our sandboxed Linux system. After clicking through ads for WalMart gift cards I arrived at an advertisement-laden site called Beautiful Nara which was characterized by largely tasteful images of young Malaysian women.
A further search led to a blogger’s review of the site
“Beautiful Nara website is owned by a Malaysian and his is posting his article mainly for entertainment only. The main story is gossip about artist in Malaysia. I think that he read from the news paper and got some information from the entertainment journalist so that he can post in his website. What I want to share in this article is, Beautiful Nara got a lot of visitor and that means more traffic and more traffic means more business. In developing and making website, the main thing that you must consider is the visitor for your site, we make blog is to attract attention from the public and selling product and we got something from it.”
Conclusion: Spam!
Kim
