A porn site is referring my blog?

    I was just looking at my stats and I noticed a website address that I hadn’t noticed before on the referral list. So I clicked on it to see what it was and a porn photo came up. The site was called meetup.com. Does that mean this website has a link to my blog somewhere on their site. If so how do I get it off. I went on the site to see if I could find it but it’s just porn picture after porn picture.
    Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Referrer spam issues are not usually discussed on public forums. Think about that because everyone who is on the internet can access this forum and that includes spammers.

    What Staff need is the URL and here’s the way to send it to them. Email support @ wordpress.com (without the spaces required to make the email address display here in this thread).

    I know you said, “don’t talk about referrer spam issues”, but…I wonder if WordPress could make it a little easier to find this information on what to do about spam referrers. It’s just taken me a fair amount of digging around in the forums to find this information.

    (Or maybe the problem is mine and I haven’t been looking properly…?)

    Hi nochildrenwhatnow, thank you for reporting this. I checked your stats and made a note of the URL you mentioned.

    If you or anyone else notices referrer spam in your stats, you are welcome to contact us at support @ wordpress.com. Please send us the exact URL in your stats. We are currently working on a way to make it easier for you to report these spam referrers to us. :)
