keywordspy?

I think they may be masquerading under the following:

66.34.204.26 - "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 26719 "http://www.keywordspy.com/keyword-research/mj13.info" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Alexa Toolbar)"

I have many results for the above in my raw access logs, same user agent, same IP even, but I can't imagine who is visiting this particular site who'd be using Windows, and besides the referer page goven has zero links to the site on it. Does anyone else have the same in their access logs? I think they may be attempting to spread themselves around via the referer but not use a bot useragent so they don't have to pay attention to robots.txt

In case this is true, I have an auto-prepended PHP script on my shared server and put the following in at the bottom:

if(strpos('keywordspy', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])){ 
     header('Location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeble-minded'); 
     exit; 
}

PHP:

edit: yep, googling "keywordspy user agent alexa toolbar" brings up a lot of access logs with the same data. Gotcha.

It's a keyword spy tool, I love web master tools, and I don't feel any problem with it as they are useful for all of us and you can also spy on your competitors keywords if you like. You can also use http://www.googleadvertise.com they give out the best web master softwares.

I have a very similar problem, only this is with regards to mobile devices, I found on tracker and it's not fun, I suspect that my wife is watching me. Once I went into the settings to see which application is working in the background, so this application was in the list of all applications.

 

I did not know about this and thanks to all for this information
