Don't spend your time keeping track of referrer spam. I used to block them,
then I lost hope of identifying real and fake referrers (about 100 of them
every month) and finally I learned to ignore and made sure that my stats
could never be viewed publicly. By quoting the logs, you have just
encouraged the spammers to do more of the same.
