Has anybody else noticed this happening lately? Apparently the owners of these sites think I’m going to give them a visit because they’re bombing me with fake traffic.

I’ve been getting the same bombardment recently. I did some reading up on .htaccess and think I’ve found a solution. Or, if not a solution at least a way to stem the tide. This (http://www.spywareinfo.com/articles/referer_spam) article gives a pretty good explanation on setting one up for yourself.
