Default New Directory?

Has anyone heard of this directory?

http://www.worldwideweb-x.com

Both of my sites are getting like 50 hits this month form them - but they look like they bite to me...
are they tricking me by hitting my server with some automated tool you think?
My stats do not show what page on their site the 'visitor' came form, and I cannot find us in their directory!
I hate it when people do this.....

Sounds like referrer spam to me, though the number 50 a month isnt high enough to warrant that claim.

If they are going to spam your statpage to get a "top referrer" link, they would hit more than that it seems.

I get bombed from garbage sites (same people), using all different proxy ips and such.

If they dont matter to you and you cant see alegitimate source or link its from, you may choose to block it if it gets much higher or to be a problem.


This is how im dealing with my third-world spammers.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (domainname) [NC,OR]

RewriteRule .* - [F]

It is crap and they have stolen content from DMOZ without adhereing to the licence agreement for using the data.
