Yeah, you're getting this because your logs are publicly visible and
thus indexable by the SE's.

You might investigate the nofollow tag to prevent them from gaining any
benefit from the spam.

So they got a visitor. I wonder how many people just do referer spamming to
get visitors. Some might even buy, or email them angry (thanks for your
email address).

Don't be amazed if some people who get this kind of referer spam actually
start gambling.

My non direct advertising pays the rent, all bills, holidays, pension
schemes, 3 kids university bottomless pit funds and the "we are buying
a new house as soon as the market stabilizes fund" ๐Ÿ™‚

Looks like I've been missing out then, I really should try to set some

All I did was reply the message. No different than any of you guys did... I
wasn't sigin' a commercial site either, although the domain suffix is
