Default You may want to check any links to your sites...

You know, I've seen a lot of people on forums accidentally type the http:// part twice, and since scammers bought the .com version of the domain, it means they get pretty much paid for everyone who clicks on such a link.

So yeah, make sure any links say, in your signature look like 'http://[mysitename].com' rather than 'http://http://[mysite.com].com'.
