  Hello,

  I accidentally hit “spam” for Pinterest on my referrer list. Just after I linked several Pins to my site. Now I have no way of tracking any traffic from Pinterest.

  Is there any way to reverse this action? I clicked on UNDO and it did nothing, then the page refreshed and that option disappeared.

  Please help!

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

  Marking spam referrers as spam referrers simply removes the reporting from your stats. It does not block them. See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/spam-referrer-reporting?replies=3

  Hi @jamesgielow,

  This should be unblocked now! Let us know if you have any additional trouble.

  POW! All while I was out to lunch! Thank you so much!! Yes, I figured that it wouldn’t actually block the link, but I did want to see what traffic was coming from all the Pins I just added.

  I can see from yesterday that Pinterest has re-appeared in my Referrers section.

  Thank you both so much for your help!!

  yours,
  James
