    Some people keep putting my site in one of those auto-surfing traffic generation schemes....and I want to use Adsense on my site but it's against their ToS...how can I stop the traffic coming from this auto-surfing source?

    If you know the referrer domain you could use PHP to check that and change what you show those visitors.. i.e. remove the Adsense blocks from those pages so they can't be clicked on..

    To block everything from the www.blogspot .... and some other domain domain use this:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(http://)?www14\.blogspot.*$ [NC,OR]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(http://)?www\.someotherdomain.*$
    RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

    in your .htaccess file
