Strange referers

While looking at the statistics for my little site, I noticed something strange in the section about referers. This month I’ve got a large number of hits from German ensurance comparison websites?! We’re talking around 15.000 hits from more than 25 different websites.

Visiting a random set of them reveals that they all look the same and only contain some Google adds. So I guess they are part of a scheme where a lot of phony websites try to increase their Google PageRank?
