  Every day since I’ve started my blog, I’ve seen a high number (relative to the total number of hits) of referrals from sites such as [URL REMOVED] or “[URL REMOVED].” When I click on these sites, they have no reference to my blog, and they seem pretty fishy in general. Could you explain where there referrals are coming from?

  I’ve passed these on to our team so that we can start to filter them out.

  In the future, please contact us via http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ and file a private request (if the option presents itself) to report these, as we don’t want to provide any further publicity for the spammers.
