      I was checking my referral traffic after Pigeon, just to see how much review site/local directory traffic has increased. Then I found something odd.

      It's not exactly like Tlames has stopped. I've noticed that kamabasoft(dot)com has been referring a bit of traffic as of late. Both Tlames and kamba referral traffic primarily originate from Brazil. When I did a site operator on kamba, I noticed two Tlames subs on kamba. (See attached image)

      I'm aware that both referrers come from more than one country, but Brazil makes up the bulk.

      Has anyone else noticed something similar?  Isn't it interesting that the tlames subs don't redirect, rather they go to headless '...' page? Kamba is obviously scraping - I just don't understand the reason for the redirects.

        Travis,

        I think this really proves what Se ma lt was up to from the beginning. Do all the web crawl spam to gain authority and faux traffic so they could show a high DA, etc.

        Good find. Thanks,
