I got referral from porn websites that has nothing to do with me and I have never put any link there.

is this some thing wrong or negative activity? Some one trying to hit my website reputation in SE?
What do you suggest?

    Where did you see this referral? I'm guessing someone is referral-spamming you so that you would visit back their site.

    p/s: Referral spamming - you see as though there's a link to your website, but actually it's not there.

    I wouldn't worry about it from the reputation aspect. If that counted against you then everyone out there could easily destroy each other.

    It could be referral spamming as someone else said, could be anything. Did you order or do yourself any SEO services lately? Are you using any type of software to promote your site? Blog commenting, social bookmarking, etc?

    I used scrapebox once to harvest URL's and comment with the software, and later on I realized my links ended up on a bunch of porn-ish websites because they had the keywords I was harvesting for.

        I wouldn't worry about it hurting your site too much. I had sort of the same thing happen to me once. I was getting a good amount of traffic from a p0rn site. Eventually it just petered out... no pun intended. Well, at least my story had a "happy ending"
