what does this referral means? A. Site is considered as spam B. Site is removed from the spam list C. Something else
it is not April, yet I got this from the referrals list. I posted my site for advice in google groups. Then i got the referral. And maybe only people with specific IP can open it (G team members).
I did a google search on it, and wasn't able to find a whole lot. The results show a couple other people have asked the same thing in various forums and blogs.
my best GUESS would be that someone has done a spam report on one of your sites, or their system has "flagged" the site, and they are doing a manual check. Your 2nd site in your sig for example. Just headlines from other sites (no clickable links to the full articles) plus links to buy tickets and google adds ? .... could have caused the site to be flagged under their system. Basically only the big G know what they are doing and the rest of us can only guess.
another thought is that google are using an address like that to spread fear among those who sell links, and users will post about it in the forums, and then many will think more than twice about adding paid links then. If there just wanted to check a site manually, then they could do so without it showing as such in your referral logs. They have done it this way for a reason, such as to cause panic in seo forums
Well, the first site in the sig is deindexed , not the second. Although, is it against the TOS that i can't put link to site selling tickets...? nope.. And i'm sticking to the adsense TOS also. The problem with the first one is that i linked it to/from the wrong place. The strance thing is that Google left 2 pages indexed. I don't know why. try with the site: command
well, if that is the case, they can pay me for spreading it... joking of course, I just want my site reindexed so i should not pay 7 bucks for new domain.
