I'm getting a lot of spam referral traffic from semalt.semalt.com/referral on my website. I took a look at the link and there’s very little information about this.

The number of website visits is 185 this month, and they result in a 100% bounce rate.

So how I can block this website?

This should work...

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} semalt.semalt.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]


...will force a 403 error. Otherwise...

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} semalt.semalt.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* www.gosomewhereelse.com [R,L]


... will send them some where else. (just change the domain name please.)
