Getting hit up with a new referral spam site (site valuation dot org) this morning and I've put my usual .htaccess fix in place:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https?://([^.]+.)*sitevaluation.org [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https?://([^.]+.)*best-seo-offer.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https?://([^.]+.)*buttons-for-your-website.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^https?://([^.]+.)*4webmasters.org [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]


However, it doesn't seem to be working as I still see the URL sitting there stubbornly in my GA real time overview. Am I doing something wrong or is this site doing something to get around this?
