    Referrer spam!!!!
    « on: August 12, 2009, 12:53:38 AM »
    How do you deal with it?  I had used this format in my .htaccess file: 

    ## Tag our known referrer spammers
    SetEnvIfNoCase Referer “.*.referrerspammerdomain.com” ReferrerSpam
    (Loads more here)
    ## Block our known referrer spammers
    order deny,allow
    deny from env=ReferrerSpam

    I found the above way of doing it, online in an article (I'm not too much expert on these matters so please go slow with me).  This seemed to work for a while.  But today they're all showing back up. 

    How do you keep them off your stats?

    I use gostats and it divides the traffic into different sections so I can see where the real visitors come from.
