I’ve noticed a lot of my traffic supposedly is coming from Microsoft Live. However, looking at the referring URLs, something fishy is obviously going on:
01 May, Fri, 09:10:38 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=authentication
01 May, Fri, 09:19:00 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=virgin
01 May, Fri, 10:51:20 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=usability
02 May, Sat, 15:55:08 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=since
02 May, Sat, 17:43:10 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=about
03 May, Sun, 11:49:51 http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=issues
I can only conclude they’re trying to increase their referrer percentages to try and increase ad spending. I’d be interested to know if anyone else has noticed this, or can perhaps explain it.
