Interesting... Looks like people are trying to generate visits to their site by creating bots that fudge the referrer link as they visit other sites.

I was wondering how the heck cheap hosting was getting on there and other such things.

Any fixes?

Are you referring to the google ads? This has nothing to do with them as far as I know. I'm talking about my own personal site, not Massassi.
