Block visitors from autosurf

Question

I would like to know how can I block traffic from websites such as autosurf, traffic exchange etc. because I have a website where people gain credits from visiting and viewing their content on my website. The most of the traffic comes from social networks but Im afraid of getting traffic from websites I have mentioned above because I have adsense on web. Is there a way to disable access from such websites. Is it enough if I disable loading my website in iframe ? Is it is how can I do that.

Answer 1

I don't think it is possible to do so. You may try some autosurf or traffic exchange program so you have better understanding.

These 2 autosurf program both provide anonymous referer for http request header. So, block by .htaccess is not possible.

Answer 2

There is a simple solution, most if not 100% of auto surfs block them selves using breaking out of frame codes (that will stop the auto-surf at certain website so destroy their business) so you can use a simple javascript that will break your site out of any frame, put this before

<script type="text/javascript">if (top.location != self.location)top.location = self.location</script>

Answer 3

According to http://www.wpwebhost.com/how-to-block-traffic-from-autosurf-sites-using-htaccess/ you can block AutoSurf with .htaccess. Copypasta:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} auto_surf_site\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} auto_surf\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

I guess you could add a RewriteRule for every site you wanted to block.
Also note that blocking according to the referer probably doesn't catch 100% of visitors from that site.
