## Opis

This blocks semalt.com, buttons-for-website.com and others with a 403 Forbidden 
message so that they no longer show up in your Google Analytics stats. This won’t
block ghost referrals (no plugin can do that), but [this short video](http://www.greenmellenmedia.com/blocking-ghost-referrals-in-google-analytics/)
will walk you through that process in Google Analytics.

Once installed, this plugin will run automatically in the background; there is no
options panel or anything to see in your dashboard.

Other sites will be added to the block list over time via updates to this plugin.

For more information, visit us at [GreenMellenMedia.com](http://www.greenmellenmedia.com)
or find us on Twitter [@GreenMellen](http://twitter.com/greenmellen).

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload the GM Block Bots plugin to your ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
 2. Aktiviranje dodatka kroz izbornik ‘Dodaci’ u WordPressu.
 3. That’s it! No options to configure; semalt and their friends will start being blocked
    immediately.

  Nothing changed on my site

That is by design. This is a silent plugin, and there are no options to configure.
Leave it enabled to block the bots, or disable it to let them back in.

  The bots are still getting through

This plugin only blocks them based on their http_referer, which may not catch everything.
In addition, some bots are “ghost referrals” that ping Google Analytics directly(
without ever visiting your site) and the only way to stop them is via filters in
Google Analytics. [This short video](http://www.greenmellenmedia.com/blocking-ghost-referrals-in-google-analytics/)
will show you how to set that up.

  Can you also block another bot?

Absolutely! We’d love to add more to the list of bots being blocked. Please email
us at plugins@greenmellenmedia.com and we’ll look into it.

Works great, only lacking updates or automatic fetching new spammers.

Until Google solves the spam traffic issue, I’ll be using this plugin on every WordPress
website. Does it take care of all of the spam traffic? No. It takes care of the 
spam bots that visit your site. There are ghost referrers that need to be taken 
care of as well, and no WordPress plugin can do that. Ghost referrers never visit
the site with the Google Analytics code. For that, you need to set up a Google Analytics
filter that includes only valid host names. If you want to read more about how to
solve the spam traffic issue, here is a detailed article on getting rid of the spam
in Google Analytics.

I LOVE this plugin!!! Works exactly as advertised and doesn’t load the site in doing
it. The best part is, it’s kept up to date with the latest spam crawl bots. Now 
I don’t have to play a never ending whack-a-mole game. This plugin takes care of
it for me.

Still seeing a ton of spam referrals. Fix it and I’ll up my review.

I was getting an increasing number of trackbacks from places like buttons-for-websites
and a couple of other bots and they kept crawling through my site and messing up
my stats. This plugin was really easy to use. Just download, upack, and it took 
about 24 hours for the bots to disappear. No going into the source code and rewriting
stuff.

Glad to have something to fix that stuff.

## Dnevnik promjena

in too quickly to keep playing whack-a-mole.
