Bing Continues With Fake Referrers: What Part Of Stop Donât They Understand?
,----[ Quote ]
| For over two years now, Microsoftâs search engine has been generating fake
| information that can make site owners think theyâre getting strange search
| traffic (including porn traffic), when they are not. Itâs time for this to
| come to an end.
|
| The culprit? Microsoftâs âcrawler,â the software that visits web pages across
| the web that go into the search engine. The crawler is known as MSNBot, from
| the days when the recently renamed Bing search engine was known as MSN
| Search. When that crawler gathers a web page, it sometimes leaves
| behind âreferrerâ information in a web siteâs logs â fake referrer
| information, that is.

| Just using Microsoft online services isn't enough to get your ticket punched,
| though. You must run Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher) when you use those
| services. Even visiting getsearchperks.com with Firefox or Opera is a futile
| exercise; you will have to start IE to see what goodies the site has to
| offer. Oh, and if you sign up you'll have to install the Perk Counter toolbar
| to let Microsoft keep track of your tickets.
