Referer's problems

[Enrique Rodriguez <en...@nht-norwick.net>]

I'm getting a loto f problems with referers. I'm using anti-spam roller's features, but i'm getting more and more referers.

I'm near 10.000 spam referers per day, and i get new URL each days.

It would be great if roller have 2 more features against spamers

1.- Store the IP of the referer to block the on Server firewall
2.- delete all referers that use black list Word. This could be vary useful when you add new words to the blacklist.

Regards, Enrique.

You can also delete or comment out the Referer's section
in every theme's Weblog.vm (and custom themes), so they are not
displayed.  Spammers might eventually leave you alone.

You can still see the referers in your weblog administration page.

For a while I was getting the spammer IPs from the access logs and
blocking them on the firewall, but I gave up since they seem to
be using spambots, coming from everywhere.

Something like Google Analytics will give you far more information than just referrers anyways.  You could also just process access logs as well.

The good part of roller referers is that user's can see and use as a
"porlet" on its weblogs.

By the way, i disabled the option as you suggested becouse I started to get
outofmemory exception on my Server.

Regards, Enrique.

Enrique,

It has long been my opinion that the built-in referrer tracking is a fairly error proned feature of Roller which is tough to support in the long run because of problems with 1) performance and 2) spam.

My personal suggestion would be to disable the built-in referrer tracking on your site by setting the "referrers.processing.enabled=false" in your roller-custom.properties file, then use some kind of 3rd party software for stats.  Something like Google Analytics will give you far more information than just referrers anyways.  You could also just process access logs as well.
