I just don't get it. It's all from WordPress blogs though and started after I upgraded to 1.5.1. So I wonder if it isn't a WordPress issue?? I have this happening too. I just don’t get it.

I'm seeing a tonne of referrals like this to my own site. I picked a couple up as soon as they came in yesterday and still didn't see any comments in my name (although I did see general spam comments on a couple of blogs). I think it would be too much of a coincidence that every site I'm seeing being mysteriously referred is run by calm folk who just ignore it. I would think at least one would say 'Why are you spamming me?' Much more likely to be an idiotic spammer who's has a fantasy that if they comments spam a load of sites - then referral spam those sites to others - that they'll get a better SE ranking. It doesn't work and it just ends up being a royal pain when trying to look at referral logs. Another example of stupidity I think. But I'm keeping an eye on it.
