Is my site compromised?
-
What is redirect.ad-feeds.com? It’s sending traffic to my site but I’m afraid it’s a virus or a malicious cookie and it might brand my blog site as spam.

Hi there,
This domain is associated with malware that may be on some computers or websites, although it’s not on your own site. Here’s more information about it:

This page explains more about referral spam:

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
