I was looking through my referrer logs today and I noticed that I got hit 86 times yesterday from someone supposedly following a link from a website called Jerseyhotels.com (I am <strong>not<\/strong> going to link to the page). This strange visitor left only his IP address: 210.192.120.82, which, according to the WHOIS server at APNIC.net, originated in China. Since I highly doubt that the booking page for a hotel site would have linked to me, and that the same person in china would have followed that link <em>86 times in rapid succession<\/em>, I am going to go out on a limb and say that I have been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unix-girl.com\/blog\/archives\/000264.html\">spammed<\/a>. Naturally, I have blocked access to my site from the above IP (the whole subnet, actually), but I&#8217;m worried that my interim solution will become untenable as a long-term approach to fighting referrer spam, which ultimately just eats up bandwidth.
