In the past few days, I have about 20-30 entries in my referrer log that just point to people's resumes, and if I check them out, they have no links to my page and the user-agent is suspect.
So the idea is is, search for "resume", and crawl them all, using the resume URLs of your clients as the user agents so hopefully people with unfiltered referrer logs get links to the desired client resume, thus boosting it's page rank?
As spamming goes, It's pretty low impact since it's just a few hits here and there, but still strikes me as stooping a bit low (I wouldn't want my resume "promoted" like that). Maybe I'll email one of the target resumes and see if it's something they subscribed to, or just some third party with angle I'm not getting. The source IP's all seem to be staffing firms.
