We sold a referrer "spamming" script that as an example of a custom User-Agent had our domain in it. Unfortunately many people forgot or didn't care to change it, and so when they referrer spammed, our domain ended up all over Google in people's User-Agent stats (keep in mind that we didn't know of this before our domain was yanked).

Not long after, GoDaddy unplugged us for "spam," and we were given no chance of explaining to them what had transcribed. The domain that we owned and had built up for months (all legitimately) was now theirs.
