  I have referrals from Zapafly dot com Normally, I love referrals but not from this vermin. It’s some type of search engine. The problem is that it returns my actual website within itself with a bunch of Adsense on the side. It’s just a trashy site and I don’t want this site to be making money from my content. How do I go about blocking Zapafy dot com from accessing my site?

  You cannot keep people from linking to your site.

  I thought there might be a way to stop them from serving my website in a frame within their website. It’s not simply a link.

  Here is an example of the referral to my website that is showing in my blogstats:

  zapafly.com/zapaframe.php?url=aHR0cDovL3ByYXllcnNvbmxpbmUubmV0LzIwMDgvMDgvMDQvc2JpLWJhbmstZXhhbS1yZXN1bHQvI2NvbW1lbnQtOTM4NA==&title=U0JJIGJhbmsgZXhhbSByZXN1bHQ=&searchid=563850&zapurl=sbi%2013th%20july%20result

  See all the adsense on the side. the site should be banned from accessing my site.

  You would have to file a DMCA notice with either the blog owner or with their web host.

  Do a “whois” on them to get that information.
