I was checking my logs today and noticed I'm getting a lot of traffic from a weird site
http://www. coresat. com/
Does anyone know how to block this referrer? I don't think I want traffic coming from this site. :rolleyes:

Do you have a .htaccess file? If so it can be blocked. Let me look for code.

If they are not on shared ip add line

deny from 123.456.789.012 or whatever their ip is.

If on shared id add

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.)?badurl.com.*$[OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.)?secondbad.com.*$[NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.)?thirdbad.com.*$[NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.)?fourthbad.com.*$[NC]
RewriteRule .*$ -[F,L]

I am trying a multiprong approach. I want to ban particular URL's which have already spammed, ban URL's that have certain keywords like sex, Viagra, porn, ... and spammy urls like keyword1-keyword2-keyword3.com

I do not have my .htaccess perfected but have had luck with code given above. I believe most restrictive rewrite rules should be listed first.
