Referer Problem

I’ve been reading through Thomas‘ great input concerning the Custom Boxes – a good idea about implementing some more functionality to your blog. However, the idea of supporting public referer lists is quite problematic as many referers are faked by spammers. Similar to the idea of comment spamming, they post their URLs into the referer header just to lure visitors via referer lists to their sites. Here is an excerpt from my own referer list found in the admin interface and my personal reason not to include this gadget at all – sex and cash advertisement shall not be part of my blog!
