While poking around the stats for www.eaglecars.com I saw something interesting. It showed a *lot* of hits coming from some rather, shall we say, questionable, sites. Click here to see the stats.
Checking logs further showed 3500 identical requests (for the stats page) from the same IP with the referer set to these sites.
I guess the idea is that this gets them a link on my stats page, which gives them good google juice. Shady bastards. Time to tell google to not index the /stats/ stuff with some robots.txt magic.
