refferals log question

hi,
what does it mean when you get a link like this in your refferals log? If i click it google.com returns a bad request page.

archive/19/farmers​ http://images.google.com/imgre ​s?imgurl=donegalimage.com/imag​es/17.jpg&imgrefurl=donega​ limage.com/archive/19/farmers&​amp;h=469&w=705&sz=138​ &hl=en&start=19&um​=1&tbnid=p5-N2A6f1zzy5M:&a​ mp;tbnh=93&tbnw=140&pr​ev=/images%3Fq%3Dgortahork%26s​ vnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den​

Re: refferals log question

it’s just a bot – propaply googles own bot. I get those a lot in a day – links that refer to http://images.google.com but are completely made up. As the Textpattern referrer url-log is just recorded referrer reguest by client, so it’s have to be right also, as other stat-tools also show the exatly same.

Don’t care about it, just stupid search bots. And you could never use those links anyway, as they are session based.

Cheers!

That is an image search. I’ve noticed that if you click these links from the TXP logs page, you get a ‘Bad request’ message. But if I follow these links from Slimstat, it’s just a Google image search result page.
