Ok Guys, Today I was just checking the traffic stats to my blog and just had a look at the referral stats, was surprised to find these URLs ... http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...boys&color_bg=FFFFFF&color_text=000000&color_ http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...lor_link=00CCFF&color_url=008000&color_border http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...spx?orig=10&keyword=traducir&color_bg=FFFFFF& http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...ls/Web-Design/1&color_bg=EEEEEE&color_text=00 http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...pping.com.au/australia/Computers/&color_bg=FF http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...mat=336x280_as&output=html&channel=7879649861 http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...lt.aspx?orig=10&keyword=funny%20short%20video There were about 50 of them all with different ca-pub IDs, looks like adwords to me ... But I never advertised my site on adwords ? Any idea why/how this could have happened ?? Abhishek
It looks like adwords to me as well. It may be possible that someone misspelled the URL he wanted to advertise. I have done it once (not with adwords) and was advertising a competitors site with only one letter different in the domain.
Is this your site? Or where the link came from? http://www.advancedwebsearch.info/shop/result.aspx?orig=10&keyword=funny short video Do any of the ads on that page lead to your site? Try reloading it a couple of times to see what comes up. Are any spelled similar to your site? -Michael
My blog is abhishektripathi.com now thats an unusual indian name ... How can someone make that as an accident ?
No offense, but I do have around 43 results on google for my name, even my name were wrong in spelling
No rewlie, you didn't get me! What I meant was, since the domain was my full name and i couldn't find a domain near it, so accidents are less likely ... And even if it were, why would someone adwordise a name domain ? Abhishek
