  In my blog stats, a url appeared as a “referrer” to my blog, but when I went to that url, it is a completely unrelated blog site with no links to anything, much less my blog. It’s a blog about getting an online college psychology degree. How did this site appear as a “referrer” to my blog? Is there such a thing as a spam referrer who is trying to get me to go back to their site?

  Thanks for any explanations!

  It’s spam.
