Hi Guys,

 

I've been getting 50+ visits a day from http://www.canadianprofiteer.c…..de-review/ which have been all bounces with 0 seconds spent on my page. 

 

I've visited their page and there are no links to my site anywhere so I'm wondering

A) how people find their way to my site

B) why they did it and

C) should I be worried?

 

Thanks!

 

Lance

How many days in a row has this been going on?  If it's for a day or two I wouldn't worry about it.  If it continues day after day, might want to do some more digging.

Hmmm….I've been getting a bunch of traffic from them too. However, I was expecting it as they asked if they could run small clips to my articles if I linked to their site. I haven't noticed if they bounced or not, but I'll check tonight as well.

It happened for about 3 days then stopped. If there was actually a link and people were actually visiting it wouldn't bother me but it seemed pointless to have 50+ bounces per day with no time on the site and no link from their site…

Hey Lance,

 

I have a link that they provided to one from one of my articles. However, I've also noticed that they are visiting 1.05 pages per visit, for 9 seconds, with a 97.6% bounce rate. Does anybody see this as a possible problem?
