    Hiya, referral spam has been mucking with my stats for a while now, and I finally have a few hours to deal with it.

    I've found what sounds like the appropriate solution, edit the .htaccess file and block the spammers.

    So what I want seems to be something like these:

    http://www.savelebanon.org/htaccess.txt

    http://jessey.net/htaccess.txt

    What I'm a little concerned about is I have rewrite engine stuff auto generated by WordPress, and since I haven't dealt with this sort of thing before I'm a little nervous about correctly inserting the stuff.

    Can I just leave all the wordpress rewrite rules up the top of the file and then after the </IfModule> line just start including all this stuff?

    Any tips/sample .htaccess files much appreciated!

    Assuming the IfModule is for mod_rewrite, you should tack them in after the WP rules and before the closing IfModule marker. Also best not to dupe the RewriteEngine and RewriteBase directives.
