Question about awstats

[Snowbaby]

Hello!

In the section in awstats titled "Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines)"... are these genuine clicks that led to my website?

I check this regularly because I like to see how people find us. I know it is only 6th of the month, but this list is almost all links from umm, shall we say... naughty sites?!

Normally I have a lot of gambling or financial loan sites, but these naughty ones are new!

While they can be legitimate, they are necessarily so. They can be forged from the browser.
