How to stop crawler semalt ?

Hello everybody

It has been a long time without visiting Indexhibit... Some changes...
Good

I'd like to block a crawler "semalt" which troubles my stats.

I wrote that in my htaccess file but I'm not sure it works. Is there another way of blocking that visitor ?

Thanks

  1. # block visitors referred from semalt.com
  2. RewriteEngine on
  3. RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} semalt.com [NC]
  4. RewriteRule .* - [F]

I too have had problems with them - and after a bunch of research I found that simply using the form on their site to stop them works. Just Google around for that, check their site...it's there.
