How can you prevent "referral scams"?For example, in a wordpress-based site of mine, I suddenly noticed that someone clicked a link from some site I had never heard of. When I followed the link, there was obviously not a link to MY site. The site was selling products, in this case books. All comments followed a similar speech pattern, and the website URL for each owner of these "comments" was the amazon.com link to the product.Obviously a scam, I quickly backed off the website.Is there any way to prevent these forged referrals via PHP?Some way of telling if they are automated or do not come from a reputable source?This is starting to annoy me.Thanks for the help, this has been bugging me for ages!
