Title: WP referrer spam blacklist (fight 2040+ Referrer Spammers in (Google/Matomo) Analytics) Author: Umbrovskis.com Published: 9 de julio de 2015 Last modified: 27 de diciembre de 2020 --- Buscar plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=2446537) Este plugin **no se ha probado con las últimas 3 versiones mayores de WordPress**. Puede que ya no tenga asistencia ni lo mantenga nadie, o puede que tenga problemas de compatibilidad cuando se usa con las versiones más recientes de WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2446537) # WP referrer spam blacklist (fight 2040+ Referrer Spammers in (Google/Matomo) Analytics) Por [Umbrovskis.com](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rolandinsh/) [Descargar](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist.1.3.0.zip) * [Detalles](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/#description) * [Valoraciones](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/#reviews) * [Instalación](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/#installation) * [Desarrollo](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/#developers) [Soporte](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/) ## Descripción List of spammers in [FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/faq/). No need for configuration! Plugin in background redirects referral spammer to blank page ( about:blank ). Redirect link can be altered via filter `wp_referralblock_redirect_uri`. NO auto update, as we see that as possible as security hole. We do not wan’t Your site to get hacked. Plugin is for sites that can’t edit their `.htaccess` or configure NGINX or Apache servers. Via [my LinkedIN post](http://go.mediabox.lv/1LbSuKq): Few months ago I started to collect referral spam pages in private file un bitbucket.org. Problem was that I did not know all spammers. Then, few weeks ago, I found that Matomo (Open source analytics) started their own “project”, and they did the same thing I did – collected referral spam sites to block them from Your website. On my own server I do that at server level, but some of my clients have hosting, where You can not edit server settings. This week I came up with another solution– WordPress plugin “WP referrer spam blacklist”. I will update list every week from [Matomo’s community-contributed list of spammers](https://github.com/matomo-org/referrer-spam-blacklist). If You have WordPress site and no knowledge about or access to server settings, I made that for You! From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referer_spam): ``` Referrer spam (also known as log spam or referrer bombing) is a kind of spamdexing (spamming aimed at search engines). The technique involves making repeated web site requests using a fake referer URL to the site the spammer wishes to advertise. Sites that publish their access logs, including referer statistics, will then inadvertently link back to the spammer's site. These links will be indexed by search engines as they crawl the access logs. This benefits the spammer because the free link improves the spammer site's search engine ranking owing to link-counting algorithms that search engines use. ``` Other plugins by author: [itemprop WP for SERP/SEO Rich snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/itempropwp/)– Add schema.org itemprop code to the (custom) post content for search engines and bots for better SERP results ## Instalación 1.

Hecho WP-CLI ``` wp plugin install wp-referrer-spam-blacklist --activate ``` ## Preguntas frecuentes ### What sites included?

This plugin is the only one with that text in all the plugins that I use, so it is clearly the cause of the problem. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9eac656a335e4a0673c5a0a54f4b9d6cece19c13f48d1738f2bde7f2b888239c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-3785/)󠁿 [craighobson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/craighobson/) 3 de septiembre de 2016 Finally! I love that this plugin is regularly updated and pulling it's blacklist from the community-contributed list of referrer spammers maintained by Piwik, the leading open source web analytics platform. Thank you for doing this right! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/380665b6253bd6fe1191d6305ac78557d0b87a2a2534906a5b3bd68adb9f9c61? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No more updates needed?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-more-updates-needed/)󠁿 [Webtaurus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/and_or/) 3 de septiembre de 2016 3 respuestas The plugin seems to work, though it takes a while for the spammers to disappear from the top 5 list. Also I still see sessions from domains that are on the list when I check the recent Analytics, is that normal? (so in stats from after the plugin install) I also would have expected more frequent updates, since the referrers seem to be using new domain names all the time… [ Leer todas las 3 reseñas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-referrer-spam-blacklist/reviews/) ## Colaboradores y desarrolladores “WP referrer spam blacklist (fight 2040+ Referrer Spammers in (Google/Matomo) Analytics)” es un software de código abierto.
