[SOLVED] Referrer Spam buttons-for-website.com

Hello,

Google Analytics is increasingly reporting hits from buttons-for-websites.com. It seems to be similar to semalt.com (referrer spam), which gets blocked by ASL rule 393766.

Can you add buttons-for-website.com so it gets blocked or can I do it myself?

Kind regards

-Stephan

EDIT: corrected referrer. It's called buttons-for-website.com (not buttons-for-websites.com)

Sure, can you send us the appropriate access logs and we'll get a rule out.

Thanks, here are some requests I found in access_log:

Is this what you need or any more records?

Kind regards -Stephan

I just noticed that in the Rule it says buttons-for-websites.com. But the referrer is actually buttons-for-website.com (not websiteS).

I had it wrong in my original message.

Kind regards -Stephan

Thanks for your help!

I just noticed these entries in access_log:
210.4.115.212 - - [18/Mar/2015:07:39:15 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 12576 "http://buttons-for-website.com" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36"
179.192.231.65 - - [18/Mar/2015:13:40:58 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 1538 "http://buttons-for-website.com" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36"

Shouldn't these be receiving Status 403? The files in modsecurity.d/ are from this morning (18.3. 7:13), so should be up-to-date.

Kind regards
