The readme currently creates a real link to the fake website, possibly giving it some "SEO juice" and also allowing users to click on it... This happens even though the URL is in a Markdown `code` block. Remove the `http://` part to prevent this.

Where does it create a real link for you? I could only open it as a link if I actually select it and right-click (the paste buffer doesn't know any better). Being rendered in code-block should prevent the normal link processing. |

Interesting, I can't reproduce it any more, so something changed. It definitely was a link at one point though, so better safe than sorry I guess :) |

This happens even though the URL is in a Markdown
codeblock. (probably some "helpful" Github Markdown extension)Remove the
