  HI guys
  Newbie here, I would like to know what referers in site stats means? I have the askimet turned on so I don’t get spammed, but it seems like the referes link shows links from other peoples sites. I keep getting the same link to sometype of autofinance? I want to get further traffic to my site but I don’t have enough posts yet to get listed and want to go slow with promoting my site, because I am still cleaning it up and making it look more presentable.

  Thanks

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

  Staff are acting on this. This situation is merely an annoyance. It does not affect your blog’s standing with Google in any way.

  Staff have created a filtering system. They 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/
