Now these days I am receiving a lot of visitors that shows an unusual path as referenced. The traffic originates in the U.S. but shows a long url string. When clicking the string ... it goes nowhere. I really don't know what they are? I tried many google searches and forums searches, but can't find an answer. I found simliar questions from som epeople in different forums but none seems answered. I am in a weird situation... Can anyone she some light on it? I started doing seo on my site, will these weired traffic affect seo? Thanks in advance I am getting visits from 76.73.39.226/?xurl=http://76.73.39.226/xze28VVp8v7y5qo302265e4b07009b545012d9e3812881df18 x&xref=http://my-domain.com 146.185.250.210/?xurl=http://146.185.250.210/eZ80n0CP7p6yTSc9288060207282108b8925890b1f181c2118 k&xref=http://my-domain.com 146.185.250.210/?xurl=http://146.185.250.210/pza0FNrd526QGKo4599c167c8817cd3f2f74053a56e13afe37 A&xref=http://my-domain.com 83.133.124.250/?xurl=http://83.133.124.250/zkI0Jeyl593Jv2U51fb8a4f0f5d7df93611ca5d7776fc61635 k&xref=http://my-domain.com etc
I am getting the same kind of traffic and have seen ways to block this sort of traffic by editing your .htaccess file. Did you find a solution? Or at least figure out what sort of traffic this is?
