Weird referring sites: hack?
 

So i'm seeing some strange sites sending traffic to some of my newly setup websites.
They are wordpress blogs. Using different themes.

Examples of these sites sending me visitors:

http://forum20.smailik.org
http://buttons-for-website.com/

Traffic is 100% bounce. Does anyone know what this could be? I just wanna make sure there is nothing wrong and it could effect the rest of the sites on the server.

They are bots. These sites hope you have a public log, That way they can get backlinks.

I get them too.

I get them as well

Its coming from Russia

Just block the ip

I'm not saying this is exactly what's happening to you, but take a look here: https://goralewicz.co/blog/negative-...-a-case-study/

I've always wondered wtf those are too, i get them for almost all my sites.

Will ask my host to block them/ips asap

you have to think about blocking the ip as they often use proxy

ref backlinks, that shit still active?

Interesting link. I can see that happening.

congrats to the winner

Wait til you start getting hundreds of hits on wp-login.php.
