PPC SE Referrer Spoofing
 
I have been getting hits from affiliate(s) of PPC engines that send fake referrer information.
I added a simple stats program which of course can be seen with the server logs, and while viewing these logs I see the following:

These hits are coming from several domains and use various well known engines from MSN to Yahoo and Google. They never seem to make it past the index page(imagine that)

Just a heads up for those that care.

That's how they gather their excellent and relative listings and makes them so damn useful to our surfer friends.

I see that a lot.

Its not always spoofing. I see a lot of PPC SE "affiliates" getting a high ranking in google or yahoo for an illegal term (kp related etc.). They then simply redirect that traffic directly through the PPC SEs feed to my site.
