<p>This plugin blocks referrer spam that you see in your page statistics. This problem is also widely known as “spam referrer attacks”.</p>
<h4>The biggest list of spammers</h4>
<p>Plugin uses the biggest public list of URLs that are considered as a spamming services; <strong>over 2200 URLs</strong> right now! List is provided by Matomo, the biggest open source analytics system. You can find it <a href="https://github.com/matomo-org/referrer-spam-list" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>; you can also contribute to that list by adding your own urls.</p>
<h4>Custom URLs</h4>
<p>Yep, you can add your own URLs to blacklist! In a flash! So easy…</p>
<h4>No annoying updates!</h4>
<p>This plugin uses service located on our servers to update the list of spammers, hence <strong>you do not have to update the plugin</strong> itself whenever list is updated.</p>
<h4>No need of an account!</h4>
<p>As it is said before, this plugin uses endpoint to get the actual list. That endpoint points to author’s server (https://srs.wielo.co), but there is <strong>no need of an account</strong> to use it. And no worries, this plugin <strong>do not</strong> collect any data about the users 🙂</p>
<h4>Hassle-free!</h4>
<p>You can see the current list of blocked websites in the admin panel, under “Settings/Referral Spam”. There is also time of the next update. That is it! No configuration needed! 🙂</p>
<h4>Free of any charges!</h4>
<p>It is completely free! Enjoy! 🙂</p>


Stop Referrer Spam

I's cluttered with Spam Referrer, and then tried this plugin with some doubt in mind though. :)

But found it's working like a charm.

Thank you for the effort. <3 Keep updating and fixing things. Good luck.

Worked like a charm

If you see referral spam in your analytics and would like to block it, this plugin is for you.

<p>This plugin displays a greeting message to visitors that come from different urls (known as <em>referrers</em>). For example, you may want to welcome Diggers with a message that reminds them to digg your story, or you may want to ask Del.icio.us users to bookmark your post, and so on.</p>
<p>Not only about a cool greeting box, it greatly helps to more efficiently interacts with your readers and build a better relationship between you (your website) and them.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>A pure AJAXed admin interface with elements tidily divided into tabs. Entries can be added/modified/(de)activated/deleted without the need to reload the entire page, or even with just one click. Starting from 3.2, there are even bulk actions!</li>
<li>The greet box position can be set to before, after, or (starting from 3.2) both before and after the post. A <a href="http://www.phoenixheart.net/2008/11/referrer-detector/#custom_tag" rel="nofollow ugc">custom tag</a> can also be used in case you don’t want to show greetings on every post.</li>
<li>Users can also put a tag (<code><?php if (function_exists('referrer_detector')) referrer_detector(); ?></code>) into the template to show the greet box anywhere of choice.</li>
<li>Excluded URLs can be specified in order to hide the greet box from specific users (like ones from Google Reader).</li>
<li>A * wildcard character can be used in both referrers and excluded URLs. For example: google.* will apply for all localized Google domains.</li>
<li>Multiple URLs can be merged into one entry, seperated by commas. For example: del.icio.us,delicious.com.</li>
<li>Ability to include WordPress attributes like url, title, author, category etc. into the greetings.</li>
