What the heck are these people up to?

My brother found a link to his site here

www . favorstar.com/domain/hosting/server/web/www.sailtimechannelislands.com

What is up with this? What is the purpose?

Weird.

I'm seeing http://www. favorstar etc. get redirected to http:// favorstar etc. and there's a picture of a naked girl face down on a bed. Nearly NSFW or very NSFW (depending on where you work). Actually now I look at the thumbnails it's definitely going full speed towards porn, just not explicitly on that page.

Is that how it was before?

Thats what I am seeing to. Why are they using my domain as a page, also listing the IP, and then there is some sort of search box under it?

Thanks for the response and any thoughts.

I 'google translated' a page from a German SEO forum asking the same thing.
Abakus Internet Marketing DE was the forum. The reply, which as I say, was translated said it's nothing to worry about, it's a chinese partner with an IP request. 'Nothing to worry about' was the exact translation.

Don't know if it's true, maybe someone else knows?

Thanks for the effort - all I found on google was various stats pages and bot refs.

Best, DEL

when a deleted the space in www(here).(and here).......
it some kind of a blog. Well, I determine it that way because of its format.

Thanks for the advice samkerry! However, take on board what I'm about to say and remember, I'm a Mentor, not a Moderator. Moderators have the power to mess you over, edit your posts and so on. Mentors have the power to offer you advice. That's what this is, now.

Samkerry, practically every single post you make drops a link to this SEO company. It's spam. Any reason why all your posts go the same way?

Play nice. Make the requisite number of posts, give decent advice as above instead of hawking for an SEO company, and then put your links in your signature like every one else.

Is that cool with you?
