That's not referer [sic] spam. This are programs that scan for know
security risks. You might want to report those (I am going to do so next
year, of course 100%% automated)

Lets say you are a small manufacturer or a service company that
doesn't sell directly to the public.

What reasons would you need for a website?

Here is some I can think of. Please add or amend the list.

1) Contact information and directions
2) Provide literature (possibly PDFs) on your services or products.
3) Company News
4) About the company
5) Employment opportunities

Surely there must be others.

After collaborating with one party or another for the last decade,
I'm on my own and am trying to clarify some concepts.

Google up: referer spam (yes, it is misspelled)

Hi all,

My website statistics log shows some funky URLs for referring sites and 404
errors.

For referring sites, a few every month are spammy-looking URLs that have
nothing to do with the topic of my site. For instance (modified not to be a
real site), www.refinance-with-badcredit.com

Curious, I visited a couple of them and confirmed that they do not actually
have a link to my site. How does this happen, that these sites show up as
directing traffic to my site?

Then the 404 errors:

/MSOffice/cltreq.asp
/administrator/components/com_webring/admin.webring.docs.php

No way can these be simple typos because I have never had pages even close
to those file names.

This has been going on for a while and is starting to bug me. Can anyone
shed some light on this?
