unwanted guest page in my blog

Hi @ipstenu-dh, @crafu

The .htacces file controls who access your site (among other things).

The type of referrer spam that @clage mention is commonly called Ghost Referrer Spam because it never accesses/visits your website. For that reason, there’s no point to block them using the .htaccess file.

It works by hitting random GA tracking-ID’s to show up in your reports. The only way to stop them for now, as @eadusseau says, is by using filters in GA.

On the other hand, Crawler Referrer Spam like semalt that uses a bot to crawl your site can be blocked by the .htaccess file. But there are just a few of them, the vast majority are Ghost.

Thank you all for the answers and the helps.
I still have only a doubt. How is it possible that if I put in the address bar the link it open a search page that say oops…its embarassing…the resource you are looking at is unavailable…please search. And this is translated in my natural language – Italian. Is it really part of the wordpress offer?

That “oops” should just be a standard 404 page. If you typed in youwebsite.com/blahblahblah you would probably get the same result.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I know its a good thing that you are seeing that 404 page.

The alternative would be it actually taking you to that page, and that would mean that someone else had managed to add that torture.ml page to your website.

Here are a example for a .htaccess.
