  I have been getting a lot of referrals from buttons-for-websites (sharebutton). I would like to remove the link this site has placed on my blog as it is distorting my stats and I have started getting spam emails also so it could become a serious problem.

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

  Well, you see under Referrers where it shows up? Right beside it is Flag As Spam. Do so.

  Thanks for the reply. I have already flagged it as spam but as I think the link has been created by another WordPress site I am not able to mark it.
