For you gallery submitters with strange google stats
I've been seeing many top google requests in my TGP stats for search terms 'art','galleries','porn', and 'xbuster'. They're totally fake.
I finally found the reason. the TGPx script fakes its referrer as google when fetching the page after submission. The default it uses is http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search which the TGPx owner can change. The reason given is "Using Google as the referrer gives the best chance of having the gallery load correctly for the scanner, since very few sites are likely to want to block requests from such a popular site." Hopefully this post will save others the frustration I had. I thought it was another crazy bot. |

BTW, some TGPx owners have changed the fake referrer to yahoo, msn, or GFY. I hate this 'feature'.
