Block Traffic from URLOpener.com

Friday, January 15, 2016 Articles, Tips Comments Off on Block Traffic from URLOpener.com

Do you want to block traffic from URLOpener.com? The site in itself is harmless but you may have noticed that you are getting lots one page visits (usually to your home page) from visitors in India.

What are they doing? My guess is they are seeing if the domain is expired and then will try and scoop it up. Another is to contact you at info@yourdomainname or any email address listed on the site for SEO and Web Design services.

Well, you can put a stop to it by editing an .htaccess file in the root of your website.

# [ CP Global Ban – Open ]
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} openmultipleurl\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} weburlopener\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} urlopener\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} openallurl\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} semalt\.com
RewriteRule .* – [F]
# [ CP Global Ban – Close ]

When they or anyone else attempt to load the page again in the future through those services, they will get a 403 Forbidden and should leave your site alone. Keep in mind that it will not stop the email spam as your email address will still be listed on the whois database along with your telephone number for them to call using VOIP.
