  Staff have acted on this. Staff have created a filtering system. This situation is merely an annoyance. It does not affect your blog’s standing with Google in any way.

  Staff have requested that we do not click the spam refferer links because that is what the spammers want us to do. They have also requested that we do not post any referrer information into forum threads, but instead that we report all spam reffer links directly to them. If you have not reported the links directly to Staff please do that now. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
