Ugh, I was working at 100 Mph this morning and just completely forgot how to do that. Thanks.

Thanks! That was easy.

"Referral Spam" Can be seen in your web stats program, like Google Analytics. When webmasters or site owners log in to view their stats, they see a referral from a website (usually a shortened URL). The person then follows that link and the spammer gets more eyeballs to their site. If the spammer is a service provider, their client might be paying per 1000 visitors (performance-based pay scale). So, getting x number of views to the site might mean they get paid a certain $ amount. The other thing the spammer might get is ... tricking someone into buying their product or service. Scott O.
