.htaccess - Blocking automatic Spam Traffic -


i saw website receiving spam traffic floating-share-buttons.com, get-free-traffic.com, event-tracking.com, forum.topic64300434.darodar.com, etc. automatically. searched on google , found way block using htaccess file. code found below -

rewriteengine on rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*ilovevitaly\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*ilovevitaly.\.ru/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*ilovevitaly\.org/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*ilovevitaly\.info/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*iloveitaly\.ru/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*econom\.co/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*savetubevideo\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*kambasoft\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*buttons\-for\-website\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*semalt\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*floating\-share\-buttons\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*get\-free\-traffic\-now\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*event\-tracking\.com/ [nc,or] rewritecond %{http_referer} ^http://.*darodar\.com/ [nc] rewriterule ^(.*)$ – [f,l]
