From the website statistics

Just thought I would check the website logs and found this...

Why was this link accessed so frequently yesterday?

Just thought you might like to see who linked to Jowett.org yesterday. I have taken out the dozen dodgy ones!

telegraph.co.uk/motoring/c... with 3 referrals
bing.com/search?q=jowett&F... with 1 referrals

This includes sessions from search engines.
Once again it shows that not all browsing is likely to be beneficial! Forensic investigation of who is doing it is certainly interesting.

As some of those sites are almost certainly malicious ones containing spyware, I would advise breaking the links so that idle mice do not click on them in a quiet moment...

Also by posting return links from here to there, you achieve their purpose - boosted Google rankings and some kind of credibility from us as a referring site.

Althu most servers use built in programs like Awstats....the statstical information provided by theses programs is hugely misleading to say the least....they do not provide enough informationto edit security as in .htaccess (if apachie)... thu they do tend to make the hosting customers poke their chests out in ignorant pride.

If u have access to the raw log files, u can ID the url s each is hitting..
ie these and similar

Code: Select all

=http/
 /modules.php?name=your_account&rediredt=
/xmlrpc.php

you can then crossreverence each of those IPs against a spam, email bots and malicuois intention data bases
Take off Search engine Bots , like google , bing, yahoo etc
What is left is still a blotted representation of actual useful stats....

Then if do have access to the raw log files... at an administration level well above the clients allowable permissions, even if manage to edit .htaccess file, the log will still show 30x redirects and 40x errors.
The server can be configured...at higher admin levers than clients have permission to......to have a "error.log" for the 30x and 40x errors and not appear in the access.log file.... which if able to get to raw logs would also be accessable if required.

After a decade of administratiing apachie servers at top level, accessing raw logs (which get quickly up into the 500 meg / 1.5 gig size for each web site/mail server) with regular security (usually daily) maintance, I can say with some authorty can be elimatinate 99.9% Asia, middle east.. in partiular Isrial (and far less the rest of the middle east), Brasil, Turkey, eastern Europe, Asia, (except Hong kong) ,
the USA, France, Germany, Sweden , Norway Canada, Spain , potugal, Sth And Central America and carabian.....remove around 90 to 95% .. note after removing Google/ bing/ yahoo search engine ips ranges.
The UK in the last 4 to 6 weeks has had a sudden increase from near nil top around 25/30%.
Oceanana less than 1%
