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.

Im not even a gallery submitter, but i have been getting ungodly amounts of traffic from art. I was thinking some kind of bot to. Now i know

nice find, been wondering about that one for quite a while!

I just thought that my site was considered art |huh

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