Well I just decided to give the whole referral spamming technique a try, and I was surprised by how much traffic it brought in (REGARDLESS of PR affect, haven't been doing it long enough to see that), but at the same time I can't believe how much angry email I've gotten.

Will an ISP really shutdown your webserver for referral spamming like all these (pissed-off, too-much-time-on-their-hands) webmasters keep telling me?

What a joke.

My ISP has threatened to do so at one point as well. The problem is people say I'm getting link spam from your domain and an ISP see's the word spam and freaks out. They don't realize the difference really.
