Found several new hits from a site that's seemingly listing page after page of numbered links that in turn goes out to search listings on Googles' cache or alltheweb, pr0n sites, forums, log files etc...

It's not identifying itself as a bot but seems to be trying to mark itself in the logfiles as a refering site.

Googling on the refering link seems to be throwing up results that lead me to think that it's also spamming guestbooks.

I can't leave the link here as like I said, it contains links to pr0n, as well as probably being against the TOS.

A clue I can leave is random-link, subdomain of - Just so you can perhaps relate to me or check it within your own logs.

I post this as both a heads-up and/or a general enquiry as to whether anybody knows of it?

I've read that some spammers and porn sites will spam guestbooks, unsecure stat pages, webpage referrer lists, etc as an easy way of getting link backs. Many people do not check their guestbooks or know their stats pages were submitted by these guys to SE's.
