OK I was reviewing my stats for Nasty Dollars and in looking at my referrers to check the breakdown I noticed several links that just didn't mesh. So I copied the link and pasted it in my browser. Sure enough a gallery that I had built came up but guess what it didn't have any of my links on it and when I viewed the source it looked like a kindergartener had tried to edit it. As I continued to look through my referrers I found several more of these so-called referrers. The kicker is the dumbass left my referrer code in the page and didn't place his or her own there. The domain in question and i'm sure its a free host or something is osowet.com of course it had referrer id numbers after it etc. etc. but I would sure like to find out what this osowet is so I can contact them and tell them what a shit they have doing business with them. I know it netted me some free traffic but I feel like its just a general purpose thing. The really sad thing about the whole deal is it wasn't even a custom gallery or anything I spent any time on. It was one of those "I have 30 minutes to submit as many galleries as possible so I think i'll use the generated ones by Nasty Dollars" things. Some people can be so dense.

As long as they are to stupid to change the referrer codes and you are getting the traffic let them keep doing it. Serves them right.

Normally I would agree but this jackass may get smart someday and get the right referral code in there. Besides its the principle of the matter. I mean if I had spent my time building the gallery versus letting the wonders of the scripting age do it I would really be pissed.
