I recently launched two websites and I am finding that on viewing the stats for the site I am getting adult/dating sites in the list of referring sites? What is going on, should I be concerned and how can I avoid this?
I have been placing these sites in an IP deny list but expect there will be others.

MysteryFCM:
Have you looked at any of the referers to see if they actually reference your site?

adminguy:
Looked at a couple and did not find any reference to my sites.

MysteryFCM:
In that case, chances are the referers are faked, and the "visitors" are bots (without seeing the logs, it's a little difficult to do anything more than speculate).

adminguy:
You may be right about the bots since they register as just hits without pages. Is there any cause for concern?
