الإحالات العشوائية

I just read about "referrer spam" on this website http://www.internet-search-engines-faq.com/referrer-spam.sht... and can say with certainty that "referrer spam" is NOT about mail, thus the word بريد shouldn't be used here. I just made up this expression الإحالات العشوائية based on my understanding of the term (it is quite complicated IMO). Someone might come up with something better though.

From another site:
"Referrer spam is when someone uses software that PRETENDS like it followed a link on someone's page, and sends an incorrect referer. This is used for advertising since many people (...) pay attention to their referrers and follow them back to see what the linked site has to say. It's also annoying for people (...) who keep their most recent referrers publicly accessible "

So basically, as far as I understand it, it is this: If I have a website, I may have a log showing me from which webpages my visitors were referred to me. Of course, I will then be interested in visiting these sites which supposedly have links to my site, only to discover that this was \"referrer spam\", that there is no actual referrer, but that I was just lured to visit that site.

بريد مزعج محول

أعتقد أن المقصود هنا هو الرسائل المزعجة المحولة من شخص آخر، وذلك تمييزا لها عن الرسائل المزعجة التي تأتي مباشرة من الشخص الذي أنشأها. ومثال ذلك، بأن أستقبل رسائل مزعجة في صندوق بريدي، ثم أقوم بتحويلها إلى شخص آخر. هذا المعنى ليس متأكد منه مائة في المائة. فإذا كانت إجابتي مقبولة، فأرجو تقبلها بحذر.
