This blocks semalt.com, buttons-for-website.com and others with a 403 Forbidden message so that they no longer show up in your Google Analytics stats. This won’t block ghost referrals (no plugin can do that), but this short video will walk you through that process in Google Analytics.

Once installed, this plugin will run automatically in the background; there is no options panel or anything to see in your dashboard.

Other sites will be added to the block list over time via updates to this plugin.
