How To Block Event-Tracking.com Spam: Htaccess Method

In every article I’ve written about ghost referrer spam, I never recommend using this method or the following method if the referrer spam is indeed ghost referrer spam that never actually visits your site.

## SITE REFERRER BANNING
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} Event-Tracking.com [NC,OR] RewriteRule .* – [F]

How To Block Event-Tracking.com Spam: Deflecting Method

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://Event-Tracking.com http://Event-Tracking.com

After that, you’re going to want to add the following code to your .htaccess

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

Why Does Event-Tracking Referrer Spam Occur?

The only goal I could assume that event-tracking.com, a website that is really just filled with ads and information about event tracking codes, has with their referral spam is to get people to visit the site and click on one of the many Adsense ads.
