most likely to the feds emailing your sites to different departments. be careful.

This is a free tube site with all sponsor videos, why would the feds be interested in my little site. I think they are more interested in the bigger sites with illegal full length videos.

I'm just wondering if this is something i should be concerned about because when i click on it, it doesn't really go to a site. Someone told me it could be from emails, but i haven't sent any emails with my links in it. The other possible explanation is that it could be search bots. I really can't explain where the hits are coming from.

Those are definitely email referrals, with the exception of 'ar.groups.yahoo.com'

Yea what he said.

I get that a lot these days, sometimes it's brettty amazing numbers that just spike on account of some e-mail chain being activated. Feels liks a time machine back to 1996

I had the same a few times. It was some news article on some foreign site featuring info about a girl which I appearantly had porn vids of on my site. Can conclude the same here I think, seeing the argentinian yahoo groups as source.

Kinda nice to get traffic spikes like this, wish i knew how i can replicate this again.
