  Strange link to my blog.

  This link took someone to my blog. Does anyone have idea what it is.
  Is someone crawling the site? I’m having trouble with someone stealing content. Someone even tried to hack into an email address. Is there any way to find out the most frequent IP addresses so that the one that is doing this can be blocked?

  This is the link that was showing as a referral link.

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

  My WP site also got crawled by this bot. Another crawler is semaltmedia.com. What is the motive for this? inpwrd.com and semalt are some kind of internet shops.

  Interesting. I have no idea. I think that is my question too. What is the motive?

  Me three. My WP site has been crawled by both bots. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
