I gathered that it was an ad network but why are showing in the access logs. The only ad network I have is Google, are they connected?

Thanks for this. I had heard of "Referral spam" but now I know what it is and why they bother. Won't do them any good with me as my logs and referrers are not made public.

| Better look it up to be safe. g### has a nasty habit of indexing everything it finds, notably including logs and robots.txt. Search for some really obscure UA and the hits will be nothing but access log pages as far as the eye can see.
