    Mate i would not even loose a wink of sleep, there is 101 fancy toys on the market now that can monitor key words, rankings etc etc, all a load of hot rubbish if you ask me, just do your thing.

    the people spending hours worrying about everyone else are loosing focus on the real isuues at hand their business.

    Just imagine, everyone has one of these so called new widget toys thingo's, so then they all study and change their keywords to the same keywords, LOL around in flippin circles they go. waste of time

    I get referrals from keyword spy all the time. I can't say for sure, but I think it is "referrer spam". In other words, that's how they promote their site, by checking your site, so they then appear in your logs. They know webmasters check referrers and will take a close look at a referrer with this type of name.

    I have the same website tracking my Real Estate Directory for a while now. Basically, somebody is tracking the keywords you are trying to rank for. Nothing to worry about, its just competitors trying to steal your ideas.

    Yes I agree that It can be referral spam, There are lot of tools out there that will steal your keywords on Adwords campaign.

    No, you should not worry about that gimmick, it is not an issue, they have this kind of site for most sites in the internet. Keywordspy use this technique to trick site owners like you and get your attention you can spy on your competitor thereby selling you their service. It is like a viral link announcement...another kind of internet advertising.

    Have you come accross sites that evaluate your site without letting you know? for example "ABC site Quotes $38,000". They use the same viral link marketing to boost traffic and increase awareness. Do not fall for it, at least they keep us entertained.
