In the "links from an external site" portion of my website statistics I see many sites that shouldn't have a reason to link to my site. Is there a reason for them doing this? Are they related in some way to spam/bots?

For example, the sites supposedly linking to mine are sites like:

  • ****-store(dot)com
  • *****-imperia(dot)com
  • handbags****(dot)com
  • hunde****(dot)com
  • iphone****(dot)com

You might simply the victim of so called “Referral Spam” (fake referrer for various dirty online marketing reasons). For a first overview you could read this Wikipedia entry or learn how to fight against it here in Stackoverflow.
