    Default link referrers

    When I look at my stats, sometimes I see that visitors come from a pharmasite full of viagra and I don't know what, but that a link to my site is not there. Then where did they come from ??

    Hard to say. A link might have been there when they came. The pharmsite may be using a robot and PHP to generate temporary links. Or it might just mean that the person or agent went from that site to the one you master without clicking a link.

    Even more likely, the pharmsite owners have figured out a way to get their URL to show up in the statistics of some sites as yet another method of trying to get folks to surf on over to the pharmsite.

    It's a common ploy as stated above. You see it and navigate to their site. Simple.
