This blocks semalt.com, buttons-for-website.com and others with a 403 Forbidden message so that they no longer show up in your Google Analytics stats. This won’t block ghost referrals (no plugin can do that), but <a href="http://www.greenmellenmedia.com/blocking-ghost-referrals-in-google-analytics/" rel="nofollow ugc">this short video</a> will walk you through that process in Google Analytics.
Once installed, this plugin will run automatically in the background; there is no options panel or anything to see in your dashboard.
Other sites will be added to the block list over time via updates to this plugin.
