Domain Registrar Ads

[herme3]

When I first register for a new domain, my registrar will direct the domain to a page of advertisements until I load my own web site. These ads are for various web sites, and the page will sometimes have adult ads. This has never bothered me before because I always upload my web sites before telling anyone to visit them. However, I was recently reviewing my web stats for one of my web sites, and I noticed most of the visitors were finding my web site by searching for pornography. It appears that a search engine bot visited my domain when the page of advertisements was still there. How will this affect my web site’s rankings on the search engines? Do I have to worry about my site being classified as an adult-only site now?

 

Here is a picture of my registrar’s page of advertisements. I removed my domain name from the picture.

More likely what you are seeing is a result of Referer spamming.
