Refer Blacklist

by Archived Article (2001–2014) Help
If you use Dean Allen's free script Refer for collecting and analyzing traffic referrals and have noticed an increase in the spamming of that list, you may find the following collection of blacklisted entries useful.

The second settings area of the refer.php file allows you to exclude reported referral entries. Simply copy and paste the below into that section of the file and upload it to your server.

The Refer Blacklist was last updated on 24 April 2008, 2244 and is presented alphabetically.


This feature is no longer updated. Thank you.

    Heh. You should see my list... I'm starting to wonder if having to check a refer.php file that large is slowing down the page load. :)

    After so many entries, I start deleting old ones from the top of the list. Referral spam seems to adapt and change quickly, so older entries become unnecessary.

    Late as usual, but. I use Allen's script to populate my htaccess 'forbidden' file. So if you want to cut down on bandwidth abuse as well as clean up your referrer logs, that's one way to go.

    A very good suggestion. Thank you for dropping by, Pericat!
