---- Strange Referrer Activity

I was happy in the past week or so to notice that I was finally getting some MSN traffic, but I looked at the referer, which in my case was relevant keywords to my sites, so happy to see that was actually coming up in their SERPs for high traffic keywords, but could not find my site in question in the results.

Now I found this thread and I'm bummed. Fake traffic? Quality testing?

Figures. I wish indeed they would at least name their user agent as a bot or something and not disguise themselves as users.

And oh. Please don't visit pages listed in the robots.txt file. I got a set up that'll block you automatically for doing that.
