Question regarding webcrawlers and Google Analytics

krh100

Two weeks ago I installed google analytics on my website. Starting about 5 days ago I started gettting a ton of hits from the referring address:
adservices1.enhance.com/dm?c=click1.las-1159833611439-0&t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ehsladywolves.com&m=YHHwNCMEbT4jcDFgN4MVuBwCdQu3

Has anyone else seen this problem? Could you tell me if this is a good or bad webcrawler? Or if it's a webcrawler.

Thanks, I sure would like to deny it's access ...

Doesn't look like a webcrawler, but it looks like at some point or somehow you subscribed to a search engine. I noticed some interaction between this and the Smugmug affiliate program. Take a look at

http://cp.ah-ha.com/1000.aspx?sc=1&mb=.029&Q=wolves&cid=1000&search=Go%21 where your site is listed and read the "About us" thing on the site.

You also might wanna check http://www.wholinkstome.com which can return some interesting results.

Little bit off topic, but Steve (or anyone else), do you know the scale for the google page rank? I see it listed on the wholinkstome.com site and I'm just curious. Is it a 1-10 with ten being the highest?

Mmm, I really don't know. I just checked yours though and 1200 links. Holy moly. I also just checked your site for the first time. Your studio work is... amazing. I wish you'd get in Smugchat so I could grill you!

I like your "appear on your own magazine cover" offer/idea from your own site. I was on Smugchat briefly yesterday but unfortunately my job often gets in the way of stuff like that. Have a studio shoot today and I sure hope it works out-- it's more of a corporate portrait and those can be quite tough-- they have to be powerful yet still personable. Sheesh... and the guy wears glasses so that's going to be a challenge.
