    Can anyone tell me what this is, I found it in my stats ....
    Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines) ....
    it's the number one referer - http://host-tracker.com/website-monitoring-statistics/646504/ over 5k already this month.

    Following the link I find it's a paid service but I didn't sign up for it :confused:

    It is just a website monitor service and can be used for free as well. It is checking your downtime etc. Maybe they themselves have added your url to see how your site fares.

    Thanks for the quick reply ARonald. Thats pretty much what I thought, just don't know why they or anyone would want to check out that site in particular, It's nothing special.

    Found the culprit, it was my webhost, they placed it on the site for a day but forgot to remove it.
