So I'm thoroughly confused. I was looking through my profile's visitor log and I see: Date: Nov 30 Viewer type: Not Logged In IP address: 213.188.93.209 Came from: www.google.com Keywords: muscular, dystrophy, disease, tearment, of, CTP2, for, year, NOV, 2010 Viewed: profile I'm really surprised by the keywords, someone searched for them a... See more So I'm thoroughly confused. I was looking through my profile's visitor log and I see: Date: Nov 30 Viewer type: Not Logged In IP address: 213.188.93.209 Came from: www.google.com Keywords: muscular, dystrophy, disease, tearment, of, CTP2, for, year, NOV, 2010 Viewed: profile I'm really surprised by the keywords, someone searched for them and apparently I'm the 1st hit on google.. then I checked the IP address... Baghdad, Iraq. I imagine if someone was spoofing their IP Baghdad would not be their top choice. Does someone have a rational explanation? I'm stumped! I've had people google my name or French translator China or something like that and access my profile but this is just completely random! To mods, if you can think of a more appropriate forum please migrate but this is so weird that I can't think of anywhere else to post! ▲ Collapse | | | texjax DDS PhD Local time: 15:25 Membru (2006) din engleză în italiană + ...

Hi Arianne, I checked your profile and you have the words Muscular Dystrophy in your About me section.

Hi Arianne, That's how I think of the situation. Please look at the KudoZ questions you're involved. Hope this will help you. Tsogt | | | Tsogt Gombosuren Canada Local time: 13:25 Membru (2004) din engleză în mongolă + ...
texjax is correct. Your profile contains the keywords. Tsogt | |

I'm not surprised those keywords hit my profile, I'm surprised someone from Baghdad looked up, specifically "muscular, dystrophy, disease, tearment, of, CTP2, for, year, NOV, 2010" and then followed the link to my translation profile. Especially since CTP2 has nothing to do with muscular dystrophy so it's not someone reading on, say articles from November 2010 on muscular dystrophy.

Now that we're on the subject, I keep getting visitors coming directly from pages like rssnewstoday.info, elsmartthoughts.info, worlddiscoveryle.info and other pages like these. Does this happen to anyone else?? It's a bit strange... | | | Arianne Farah Canada Local time: 15:25 Membru (2008) din engleză în franceză INIŢIATORUL SUBIECTULUI
