I'm seeing the same thing in my logs. I don't know what the sites are
selling because I refuse to visit such sites. (I know by the
documents being requested and the number of entries all right together
from widely scattered IP addresses that it isn't legitimate referrer
information.)
When I get a round tuit, I'm going to update my httpd.conf file to
watch for those referrers and do something other than returning the
requested documents. The documents are fairly large. Whatever I do
will be much smaller and will return a code other than 200.
