Guys I am getting a considerable amount of traffic from a couple of viagra sites, this seems to me like referal spam, (from what I can gather).
I can find joomla stuff to block domains from registering but is there someway I can block this activity?
Thanks in advance - Regards,

I highly recommend that you install a CAPTCHA system mate - and not something useless that includes the CAPTCHA code in plain text as a hidden variable in the submit form (yes, I know, the mind boggles).
I recently recommended this one for a client I'm consulting to:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...captcha/1091/details
Seems to be one of the better ones out there - may be a LITTLE more difficult than most to install - but it's definately more capable than many of the other's you'll find at the JED. - Ragdata's Rubber Duck

(I have my j-sites most of the time in subdirectorys (with a usefull name)
and have a .htaccess in the root if I see something strange in the logs I use
some of the stuff mentioned here)
