Yesterday I saw in my blogger stats page that traffic was coming from a video on Youtube. I was surprised: I don't have any video on youtube! So I followed the video link and found hundreds of comments of others there too, who probably had the same query as mine: 'What the heck is this video sending traffic to my blog?' The youtube video had not even the slightest connection with me, my blog or even the content. I run a purely-mobile phone blog - the youtube was about some online gaming whatever. And then, of course, how could a youtube video you don't own or have no links of yours in it, send you traffic just like that? Of course, I don't resent the traffic but coming from an unlikely source, and one that doesn't even belong to me seems a bit creepy. Is this something I should worry about? Or maybe I'm still too much of a newbie to know how traffic really work?
It's nice with unexpected traffic like that. Although I would also wonder how and why? I mean if there is no link, how is the traffic referred to your site in the first place? Also, can I have some of that traffic please?
sometimes it becomes possible when the blog is very high traffic and with good content. its natural as per this virtual world. -- Thanks Abhishek
More likely this is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referer_spam. I see it from time to time on all my sites. Fairly useless when the links end up on non-public stats pages.
I am not native english so I can not write a good article, so I have been uploaded many video to youtube, so I got a backlink from youtube so I got a lot traffic more traffic = more sales
Looks like it's not actual back links nor referrals. They just want you to go back to watch their youtube video - A marketing trick using spam technology !
