I will add that now and see how it goes, thanks for posting.

Try:

# block visitors referred from best-seo-solution.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} best-seo-solution\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.best-seo-solution.com [R=403,L]

That should bounce it back.

They are just another company who are doing referral spam to get traffic back at their site (and presumably some business), not harmful, but blooming annoying!

The code I pasted above works in .htaccess, it just bounces their hit straight back at them.

They don't really visit the site, just use a robot to make it look like they are. You see the refer, and go visit them to see who they are. Another tactic has been to us a domain that is very similar to a popular one (like huffingtonpost was a recent one), you then see referrals from huffingt0n post, and want to know how they mention you, so go visit it, and end up on some tacky affiliate site.

These people came out of no where for me, and i was all for blaming my hosting company as they were visiting every site i have with them. No real harm i suppose, but annoying to see them in every statcounter record nevertheless.
