Oh, Internet, You So Silly!!

I was just looking at our stats for the blog and I noticed I wasn't familiar with some of the sites which have been referring* readers to us.

For all time, the sites which have referred readers to this blog are as follows:
So let's look through them, shall we?

Facebook - I sent some links through the messaging platform. Okay, that makes sense.
AVandRed- That's this blog, I didn't know it counted to refer to ourselves, but okay...
Yahoo mail - I emailed some links via email. Good that checks out.
OffbeatBride.com - I'm a member here and the blog is linked in my profile. Makes sense.
Pingywebedition - Well, apparently this little buddy here is spam, so sad :( (explained here: http://elbadaernu.blogspot.com/2010/12/referrer-spam.html)

Now, the last referred, highlighted in orange (red?) in my photo...

Against all my better internet judgement, I clicked on the referring site link in my statistics page. I figured it must be some other blog or something? Honestly, I wasn't thinking about much, I was just like "wtf is this link, I don't know you..?" (when you're thinking this, it should be a red flag in terms of clicking on things...)

The page loaded and my screen was filled with naked women with spread legs. .... "Amateur Porn" read the top of the page. MY EYES!! I'VE BEEN TRICKED!!!

And I still don't even know why (or IF) our blog is being referred from there!

Cheers, and I'm going to go ahead and do a virus scan now,

* Usually this means that this site has a link to (in this case) our blog somewhere
