It also improves the overall performance of your site by keeping away these unwanted referrers from your website, which means that your web server won't need to consume resources when a referrer spammer visits your site!<\/p>\n\n It is very common to be attacked by referrer spammers<\/strong>. Referrer spam consists in making repeated web site requests using a fake referer URL to the site the spammer wishes to advertise.\nSites that publish their access logs, including referrer statistics, will then inadvertently link back to the spammer's site. These links will be indexed by search engines as they crawl the access logs.\nThis benefits the spammer because the free link improves the spammer site's search engine ranking owing to link-counting algorithms that search engines use.<\/p>\n\n This is not really harmful for your site or your site's search engine ranking. But it is very annoying when you try to analize your Google Analytics statistics due to big amounts of visits coming from referrer spammers.<\/p>\n\n It is very easy to check if your site is being attacked by referrer spamers. And I bet you that more than likely your site has some suscpicious visits that could be banned using this plugin.<\/p>\n\n This plugin is fully compatible with any webserver by default.\nIts adaptability ensures that will work with any version of either apache, nginx, iis or lighttpd webserver.<\/p>\n\n Not compatible with multisite yet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Requires at least WordPress 3.2 and PHP 5.3<\/p>\n\n Every week, this plugin updates the list of referrer spammers from this community-contributed list<\/a> of referrer spammers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Please show your support for this plugin by giving it a rating<\/a><\/p>\n\n Development is on GitHub: https:\/\/github.com\/rrodrigonuez\/WP-Block-Referrer-Spam<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Pull requests are more than welcome!<\/p>\n\n\n Navigate to Tools > Block Referrer Spam<\/strong> in your WordPress Dashboard, and look for the Settings<\/strong> section.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes!
