Spam or not.
-
This shows up in my referral box:
best-seo-offer.com/try.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmartinjryansamerica.com
When I click or highlight it a question displays: SPAM?
I don’t know. Does anyone? What does it stand to gain from referring people to my blog? Does anyone know what it is?
Help is appreciated. Thanks.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi timethief–
Right, but this entity does not submit comments. It’s listed under referrals. It is referring people to my blog. Is this a bad thing?
Thanks. -

SEO means search engine optimization. The semalt crawler has been reported many times as a spam referrer.
Marking spam referrers as spam referrers on your stats page simply removes the reporting from your stats. It does not block them. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/spam-referrer-reporting?replies=3

Thanks, but I’m still trying to understand the downside to this. I get people coming to my blog from all over the world, some of whom are from “spam referrers,” and some not. Question is–Why are they doing this, what do they gain? The spammers and the people, both, who land on my blog? And I’d just as soon leave the status quo since it tells me who is from the spammer and who isn’t. Hope I’m not a nuisance, but I like to understand these things.

They offer professional SEO services, keyword ranking monitoring service, competitor analysis. Free plans. They want you to click the spam referral links, think well of them for the referrals, and pay them for their SEO services.

Hi again– I want to place my political cartoon into my diary: MY CRAZY DREAM. I’ve done the following:
Chose my diary
edit>license>description
uploaded cartoon from image library
entered tags
entered location: MY CRAZY DREAM (diary)
Question: How do I insert & place the cartoon into my diary’s text?
I saw something that said drop & drag–it didn’t work.
Thanks for help.
P.S. I did originally look at tutorial video. Too small print for me.
