A couple of weeks ago, one of my parked domains began receiving thousands of impressions per day. It was at parked.com, so I moved it to fabulous to see if I could tell more about the traffic. Although I was getting over 100 uniques/day at fabulous, there wasn't any additional data on the traffic, except that it was mostly US.

So, I redirected the traffic to one of my other domains, and sure enough, I've been getting an additional 80 or so unique visitors per day. Today, I set up an "under construction" page on the domain, so I can see through hostgator where the traffic is coming from.

The domain is getting a hit every 5-10 seconds now. If I look at the "latest" visitor data, I get the following example:

*

The second section of data always has some weird search terms like the one above, only totally random.

Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I'd sure like to know.

IMO, it's Look like a bot. Check that IP 1st

There are only two different IP addresses that show up. If it's a bot, then why the rise in unique visitors?
