  Can you let me know how to block this referrer spam or how to remove it from my blog: [spam referrer removed]

  I looked for a way to submit a private request to tech support but could not find it. This spam site keeps mucking up my stats and I have no idea what it is

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It is circular. It just directs me to the contact form, which directs back to the forum

  I have the exact same spamblog referrer. This blogspot appears to link through to my blog for some reason. Like it’s attached itself to my blog and appears to refer users through to my blog, only it seems to be some kind of malware or fake blog, because when you click it to see what it is, it has nothing to do with my blog, nor shows a link anywhere to my blog, and the webpage seems to be set up to continually refresh itself as if to increase its own click count.

  I don’t know whether it should be a concern or not.

  I have a similar spam referrer, I think:

  [spam referrer removed]

  I can’t find the contact form (and it’s Tuesday morning).

  Thanks.
