This is not a recommended method, but you can create a text file called “deflector.map” and add the following code to it:

#
## deflector.map
##
##referer –> redirect target
http://Get-Free-Traffic-Now.com http://Get-Free-Traffic-Now.com

RewriteMap deflector txt:/path/to/deflector.map
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !=””
RewriteCond ${deflector:%{HTTP_REFERER}} =-
RewriteRule ^ %{HTTP_REFERER} [R,L]

Since there’s really no way to navigate the site, I’m certain that the site owner either wants you to click on one of the 2 Adsense ads or the site owner is looking to have people sign up for his mailing list when they click the “notify me” button for when the site is ready to launch.
