Strange Days Indeed

For a while yesterday and today, my other website, the one where I deposit various stories, essays and poems, was getting dozens of hits from a porn site. I went to the referring page to see what the deal was, and after s l o w l y scrolling to the bottom (past many distractions along the way) discovered that it was one of those automated link-trading set-ups. There was no direct link to my site, but apparently I was on the list of XXX sites that visitors are sent to whenever they click on the "next" button. How I got on the list is a mystery. Maybe I have a fan who's a porn-site webmaster? In any case, it seems to have stopped now.

The weird thing is that a fair number of these lusty visitors clicked on my literary whatnots, all of which are PG-rated at most. I wonder how far they read before they realized there weren't any good parts.
