Suspicious site access

I keep getting hits from http://www.partypoker.com/ into one of my blogs - something does not seem right, and I think they are trying to autopost spam comments. Theirs site is spammy and creates multiple popups and wants to download software.

I did some searches and found these

http://www.texashousing.org/txlihis/...tsubjectt.html

http://www.freesheetmusicplus.com/me...5196122237.htm

which seem to contain garbage comments originating from them.

Any ideas on dealing with it?

J. D. seems to be expert on this. Block through .htaccess. Some block based on URL, some based on poison words like Viagra, poker, ... If all spammers are coming from same IP block IP but typically they just start spamming from another.

Good luck with the spam battle.

You sure it's not "just" referrer spam?

Shannon's right. Search DP for referrer spam and you'll find tons of posts on how to deal with them.
