spam in stat reports
Is there a way that i can prevent phony referrers from appearing in my stats? I know that these sites are all spam (they are the same sites that people see on blog comments) and that they do not link to my site. I know that I can not prevent the sites or spam software from pinging my site or 'referring' to my site, but can I at least see them excluded from my stats report? It screws up the report and makes it difficult to read real links.
Here is an excerpt from AWstats; you can see that each site only 'refers' a hit to me once or twice: Code:
Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines) - Full list - http://www.tournament-texas-holdem-win.in 3 3 - http://softwarevideogames.vstorevide...-bin/pagegen/v... - http://www.buy-phentermine-from-mexico-pharmacy-2003.in 2 2 - http://www.phentermine-free-shipping-top-deals.in 2 2 - http://www.phentermine-side-effects-top-deals.in 2 2 - http://www.holdem-4u.in 1 1 - http://www.no-limit-texas-holdem-rules-4u.in 1 1 - http://www.holdem-texas-poker-rules-games.in 1 1 - http://www.odds-texas-holdem-4u.in 1 1 - http://www.texas-holdem-odds-calculator-4u.in 1 1 - http://www.adipex-cheapest-cheap-phe...armacy-2003.in 1 1 - http://www.holdem-rules-game.in 1 1 - http://www.texas-holdem-books-4u.in 1 1 - http://www.free-holdempoker-game.in 1 1 |

Unfortunately, they use various proxies, so the ip address always changes. I would have to continually update a huge list of ip addresses. I would rather just block any urls with certain words like 'finance' or 'casino' from appearing in my stats.

I've implemented Bad Behavior on all my sites and it's been a wonderful thing.
