How can I be getting traffic from CNN.com? - GoFuckYourself.com

DearAbby · 03-14-2003, 01:34 PM

Got like 120 hits today from CNN.com It's all 100% proxy traffic to.

How can this be?

ChrisH · 03-14-2003, 01:36 PM

I've seen traffic from time to time from cnn also. I never figured out from where though.

gripcash · 03-14-2003, 01:36 PM

That's a little scary.

topal · 03-14-2003, 01:40 PM

someone using cnn.com's proxy server and probabbly you cant see them on your counter.. you can only see it on your server reports right?

I've seen cnn.com as a referrer in my stats before as well, the first time I noticed it I actually went looking on cnn.com for a link to my website

If you're listed in Overture or Google, you can get traffic from CNN. Check out the search box at the top of www.cnn.com.

dantheman · 03-14-2003, 01:49 PM

902: http://cnn.com/

I myself spent a couple of days trying to figure out how,where,who,why I gave up :/

I had a similar thing happen to me, but it was from the International Atomic Energy Assoc. The guys that were doing the nuke inspections in North Korea until recently. They sent me 13,000 hits in one day. The bummer is that it was to my blog of all places, so I didn't even make any money.

Strange shit.

Mr.Fiction · 03-14-2003, 02:37 PM

Maybe CNN is like Yahoo with news bulletin boards. Some dumbass probably posted a link to your porn site in response to an article about the Elizabeth Smart story.

You're going to jail!

hate to break it to you boys, but its people that siy inside the CNN building, or run on their locale network.

If some of the users have e modem-dailback system when they are working out in "the field" and use the acces to surf from home, they will show up as a CNN.com visiter to because of the dailback will gain access to the internet, not through a ISP, but through the dailin-pole they use.

No, that would be the Remote_address of the surfer, not the referer.

SleazyDream is right (OMG!), its hitbot

I'm not sure but one of my logs indicate weird traffic sources as well. From Islamic sites no less. It may indicate pages they were on until my redirect script hits. Im not exactly sure.
