Referer Spam DoS

   I found an interesting solution to the referral spam problem. Instead of modifying .htaccess to block referral spams, I added a small .PHP file that redirects referral spam attempts back to the site that the referral spam is referring to. So they just spam their own sites.

   I posted a link to the info here: http://www.daveschalkboard.com/?p=811

   Good method to prevent spam, but it will require constant maintenance, which is something I do not want to spend much time on.
   Thanks for the link, I am sure a lot of people will find that useful!

   Ah, I was to suggest to give a try to my script, but Dave did it first

   Actually it’s fairly easy on maintenance. Every 3 or 4 days I’m adding a new keyword or URL, that’s about it.
   (I have encountered the same problem with one referral DoS’ing)
