Most likely referral spam unless your link is actually on the page(s)

To expand a bit, "referral spam" or "logfile spam" is where an illegitimate site sends a "query" to your site, so that its "referral" shows up in your logfile, sometimes (through Javascript, etc) as an active link. Then you wonder what's going on (or the script hijacks your "results" page when you try to view it), and -- voila! -- the scammer site gets a "referral" from you. Ha. In other words, this is nothing you need to worry about; your site is fine, and you are not being "linked to" from the disreputable site. Just make sure you do NOT follow the link back to the scammer site. (You can find loads more information online; just search on some appropriate keywords.) Eliz.

These sites are injecting 302 in your site. They are most likely doing a Google proxy hacking which can filter you in Google results.

Mandytom, can you explain that more for the rest of us? What do they get out of it?

If this is referrer log spam, make sure that your log files and stats pages are NOT accessible to the public - otherwise your site IS linking back to that junk.

I see these from time to time and just ignore them.
