A Question.......

On my website which I use for work purposes, I have a hit counter.
I have just checked it, something I usually do about once a fortnight, but to my dismay someone has linked to my website from a porn website which includes a porno type blog, I didn't realise until I clicked the link, anyway, in the blog a lot of people have replied in the blog about links to their site also, my question is, How do they do it ? anyone any ideas ? Could I block it or should I just ignore it

Hope the above makes sense.

Re: A Question.......

is it a website using a hosted domain, or your NTL webspace, yesman ? :)

sorry to imply you would use NTL for business use, but you never know :)

- so it is down to how much access you have to managing the site via the control panel - is it i-web? - they have tools for hot link protection & IP block, for example ;)

I just had a look & couldn't either, it looks like you will have to raise a support ticket. :(

i-webs control panel is more comprehensive, easyspace looks like they keep things 'easy' by not allowing access to the 'twiddly bits' - thats not to knock it, it, though, that approach is often all people want.;)

sorry I couldn't help you out any further, mate :dozey:

A thought occured to me, is it possible that everyone who is complaining about the link might all be from the same Hit Counter provider ?

I think you may be a victim of trackback or referrer spam.

It would seem I am not alone, I have just been to the hit counter site forum
