Following on from my post yesterday, I can see that lots of people are in the self same situation as me and are being linked to by qq829.com. The most information I can glean is from this link. The general opinion there is that the owners of the domain have been involved in malware and spamming in the past but there’s no real explanation for this. Big website and small websites have been targeted. Perhaps it is a way of Chinese surfers side-stepping the government control of the Internet in that country? Perhaps it is something more sinister and possible the first inkling of a Chinese botnet or DOS attack network being put in place?
There is no answer at this moment, but if you, like me, are feeling a little uneasy about being linked via this dubious sounding website then I would suggest that you made amendments to your .htaccess file on your webserver to block out any traffic from China. It sounds drastic but it would certainly put an end to the issue and block out these strange links.

** UPDATE **
A fellow suffer of this condition posted the following answer to this question and it seems that this is a variant of an adclicker trojan, which when you click the referrer in your stats, it puts a trojan in your cookies which helps generate fake stats for another website.

What is qq829.com?
I´m having the same issue here, the actual chinese website DOES look fishy..
For now, we will not block them on our network so we can inject their browers.
This way, we can see where they go and do as they browse other sites across the web.
This is peculiar. I have been googling this for a while, and am still not seeing anything that indicates that anyone knows what is going on. I would not mind if extra traffic helped my ranking, but There is something very peculiar about this.
Would seem to be some sort of bot, though… Perhaps some sort of advertising? Draw attention to the domain from all over the world, then open a porn or dating site?
Hey guys, got some news for you. This is all down to a new variant of trojan adclicker. See link below for more info:
