Just found this discussion because it happened to link to one of my pages. I'm somewhat concerned about the phrase "referrer spamming" -- it is not my intent to spam anyone about anything. I'm just an archivist who documents details.
What it offered was data. If someone wanted to find the real villians, they could trace the referrers which do not actually link to me. Instead, those sites have entrapped an unknowing surfer in a full-window frame window, following his every move. Ugly stuff, and there is evidence of the evil do-ers in web log data.
The original question involving my page, posted by Zain Jaffer, was not directly answered:

The stats for this site has a page which is PR5 - does that mean all the sites that link to it and show up in the links get PR (do stat pages pass PR?)

As I understand it, any page which has more than X number of links, maybe around 30, ceases to pass on page rank to any of those links. Nor, as far as I can tell, did Google penalize me for "spamming".
A couple weeks ago I reorganized the Webalizer section of my site. (Done for maintainability, not because of SEO or any external concerns.) The previous link won't work. Figuring out the new URL wouldn't be too hard. It's pretty boring stuff, though, and likely not worth your time.
