i’ve been contemplating putting something like
dean allen’s

refer

up to give the curious a view of where people are coming from, but
have been slowly noticing the growing list of referer spam links
and wondering if it’s really worth it, from a signal to noise
perspective.

wired news

recently wrote about the growing problem of

referer spam

exemplified by services [sic] like
mastodonte

. fortunately, due in part to a
cogent
letter

from
michael kelley,

mastodonte appears to offer
opt out.

unfortunately this won’t stop the proliferation and it’ll be a
matter of months before the referer logs are rendered useless
under the weight of relentless spamming. sigh.

at least mark pilgrim is getting creative gay porn spam.
