A new form of spamming
-
I saw a blog post as a referrer in my stats. To quench my curiosity I clicked the link, which was a post about infinite scroll. I went through the whole post and looked all around but I didn’t find any link to my blog there. Then I assume it to be a new form of spamming. I can post the link here. How to discourage this new form of spamming?

Oh Thank you Ma’m for your quick response.
Here’s the link as a referrer http://namibsands.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/will-infinite-scrolling-be-rolled-out-infinitely-please-not/ in my referrer list of Feb 14. -
Thanks for replying with the URL. I took a look and I’m not sure what could’ve caused that referrer to appear, as your blog address didn’t appear in the source of that post.
We’ll make sure to keep an eye out for related issues.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Sir!
Don’t you think it to be some kind of spamming? I think that blogger posted the link of mine clicked it then removed it to attract attention.
I have another similar issue. A person liked a plenty of my posts at once. Some days ago. http://itspak.wordpress.com/2012/01/10/professor-abdus-salam-a-great-man/. The same person who did like this post. I’m not mentioning his/her name for security reasons and not to give him publicity.
I thought this to be a normal thing but searching in the forums I came to know that it is a kind of spamming. Hope you’ll do something about it.
Thanks again. -

Like’s can’t be manually removed at this time.
If we ever decide those specific likes are spam, they’ll automatically be removed. -
You can consider them spam cause that person liked so many posts at once. Please have a look at the blog.

I don’t see anything to indicate that it’s spam. We’ll keep an eye out for these kinds of issues in the future, though.
Thanks for your report. :-)
