    hi guys,

    My wordpress sites are being blasted by referrer spam. It is unbelievably annoying and is also destroying the quality of my site and using up my bandwidth. I found this article here which basically explains the exact trouble i'm having:

    However, the solution isnt working. They say to use the referrer bouncer plugin which is old and doesnt work. I was wondering if any of you are having the same issues?

    I use wp stats to monitor my sites statistics and i can see a lot of spam sites (gambling, porn, etc) referring to me. How do i stop these damn spammers and their sites?

    Anyone know of good spam plugins? I'm using askimet and bad behavior right now.
