Forex-*****.com referrals

There's a service I came across several months ago, it was a way to get real visits to your site, I guess to increase alexa, traffic stats, etc. And it works exactly as you've described. You check your stats and see a visit from xxxxxxxx.com, you think "wtf? They have a link to me?", and you go to their site to see where your link is.

I'm not 100% that's how it works, but that's how it appeared. IT's stupid, but that was my only guess.

If it is spam, make money off of it.
Add some pop-ups from some advertisers like ero-advertising.com

I have some bots that go to my site and they are earning me money so I can't be bothered to block em

I have been getting a lot of views to a lot of my sites from forex-*****.com. Is this some kind of spam? average time on site is 0, bounce rate is 100%.
