    I wish that someone could make a WP plugin of the Referer.org site. They have lots of options and are providing spam free lists of your referrers.

    I’m not a plugin writer. But I guess that all that needs to be done is to add the Referer.org code on all your WP-pages. And an admin option page where you can change all the options (block sites, etc).

    Hi, this plugin is similar to the wp-greet-box.
    Does anybody know the difference between them?

    I use WP Greet Box, which functions similarly but I like better. It has some additional features that make it a winner.

    Also, I’m not sure what you use on this site, but it’s really annoying to see the “Subscribe to RSS!” text every time I visit, especially since it’s styled to be identical to the body text. You should consider changing this styling, or use WP Greet Box, which records visitors and stops nagging them after a certain number of visits.

    Re: Massimo

    I haven’t tried Referrer Detector, and therefore recommend that you try them both to really find out, but from looking at their feature list, WP Greet Box has the following features that Referrer Detector does not:

    * Deactivating Referrers (as mentioned above)
    * IP/visitor checking so repeat visitors aren’t bugged every time they visit your site.
    * Turning off greetings for pages and/or posts, if you want.
    * Displays Related Posts based on incoming search terms.
    * The ability to add referrers easily through the interface.

    Pretty much, WP Greet Box is just much more complete and polished. I can’t see any reason to use Referrer Detector instead of WP Greet Box.

      I was thinking about those things.
      Also as Green Box support wildcard referrers (*.fr, *.uk). should be easier for me which my main visitors are from *.do , so I will use this instead.

    Nice thorough review. Also, it’s worth mentioning that Referrer Detector is a fork of the WP Greet Box plugin, which tends to get less publicity for some reason. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-greet-box/
