I have been noticing with a high frequency a number of referrals from such sites as: xopy, adminshop, devaddict etc., and me being the curious Webmaster, clicked on a couple to see what the hell they were referring to my site from over there. To my surprise there was no content or links to my site. I started digging around and there has been numerous known cases of a couple sites doing referral spamming with a product from adminshop know as Reffy!
I have now blocked via .htaccess the following sites that are known referral spammers:
Code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?adminshop.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?webdevboard.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?devaddict.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?whiteguysgroup.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?guestbookz.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?xopy.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.*$
RewriteRule ^.* - [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?adminshop.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?webdevboard.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?devaddict.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?whiteguysgroup.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?guestbookz.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?xopy.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.*$
