The thing is though, that with deeplinking, they don't visit your
house.
One person visited your house, and constructed outlets for hobnobs
from your hobnob-room. Big hoovers sucking the hobnobs from their
packages and spitting them out at the other end, which happens to be
outside your house or even in the next street.
He is bypassing your condition of 'visit me at home' for others to
obtain hobnobs. They get the hobnobs without the tea you were offering
with them, and without you having a chance to give some nutritional
information on the hobnobs.
