As well as spammers you might also be suffering from WOT (Web of Trust) reviews. When I try to visit here using Firefox with the WOT plugin I get a warning saying ‘This site has a poor reputation’.

This has been bugging me for a while now and I hadn’t got a clue where this traffic came from. Thanks for the info.

One other similar thing I saw recently – I followed a new link back and found a web-site that was publishing links back to a rotating set of “featured” sites. They were selling SEO services!

@Roman,

You said: “Because I click on them to find out who they are and why they have a link to my website. What do I find? There is no link to my website. These website are sending traffic to my website without having a link to my website. How? Why? How they do it I do not know”

That article tells you the how and why. I assumed your questions were not rhetorical in nature.

@Jeffery Wood I don't get it. What do you mean by "for better answers".

Interesting explanation of how spammers bring traffic to websites. I’ve never really thought about that. I spend so much time on email-based, that I never realized the extent to what other forms of spam come in.
Good stuff.

For better answers to the questions you posed, read this post from The Griz, but I believe it should help you to understand more of the spammer’s mindset. The Griz is not a spammer, but in addition to teaching SEO and how to set up your sites for Adsense, he does tell you how some things are done and why.
