Does anyone know what this is in my logs?

"GET /' onclick='kr(this,'wr','42','i') HTTP/1.0" 404 139 "" "Mozilla/4.51

"GET /' onclick='kr(this,'wr','42','i') HTTP/1.0" 404 139 "" "Mozilla/4.51 [en] (Win98; I)"

This appeared in my logs last night. Yes, my server returned a "404" on the request, but I would like to know what they are after just in case I need to block anything. I have omitted where it came from, but I know who they are -a company that hosts websites and does other SEO stuff.

Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance, WFN :)

Looks like a HTML coding error on the page the request was referred from.

The HTML hasn't closed the A HREF link request properly, and so the onClick code has also been sent to your server when the visitor clicked on the page.

If you go to the referring site and look at the source you'll see what I mean. It'll be something like:

<a href="/ onClick=kr(this,'wr','42','i)">blah

Thanks, JP.

So are you saying the referrer actually has a link to my site? I never even heard of them until last night!

I do not mind someone linking to me, especially if they have a good PR ;)

Thanks, WFN

Somewhere on the web there is a link to your site homepage (/). You aren't using JavaScript code for onClick on your site are you?

The referrer is found in your log files at the poisition marked in bold:

"GET /' onclick='kr(this,'wr','42','i') HTTP/1.0" 404 139 [b]"referrer"[/b] "Mozilla/4.51

No java on my site, but maybe the referrer is using it.

There appears to be no referrer, just a quote mark and a space between the quotation brackets.

Any other ideas, or what would you do, should I even worry about this?
Thanks, WFN

[Web Footed Newbie]

Yes, nancyb, they are. What did you do to block?
thanks, WFN

By copying and pasting, the numbers actually come up as Wordtracker.

Don't know why they are looking at me, my new site has been up for a whole 3 days!
