Derpy

Either it is a troll post or a check to see if the question will trigger spam filter OR the user has an actual problem.

if it is the later, I would be nice to know what is actually happening.

If that is a form of attack, I don't get its purpose.

Maybe it is an attack against the Google analytic ranking?

@UNICYCLEZRDEBESTINDEHERE Oh, nice... it is actually a thing.

Referer spam

Referrer spam (also known as log spam or referrer bombing) is a kind of spamdexing (spamming aimed at search engines). The technique involves making repeated web site requests using a fake referer URL to the site the spammer wishes to advertise. Sites that publish their access logs, including referer statistics, will then inadvertently link back to the spammer's site. These links will be indexed by search engines as they crawl the access logs. This technique does not harm the affected sites, just pollutes their statistics. This benefits the spammer because the free link improves the spammer site...

Probably this is the thing the user is experiencing. Still, he crossposted, so the question on SO has to be closed.

Ideal homework q&a pair is one that is later found by many others and gives them enough so that they don't end up asking their own, similar, question.

Ilmari Karonen

9:44 PM

@NormalHuman IMO, ideally, the answer also shouldn't be something the OP can just copy-paste and hand in. Not just because Cheating Is Evil!!1!, but because the more of a reputation SE gets as a place when you can get easy answers to homework, the more repetitive low-quality homework questions we'll get.
