I have seen mention of the fact that this sort of spam is being automatically deleted, but it doesn't in my case, any reason? I would like to know how to interpret my usage data with this sort of spam, ie what figures are still meaningful, and also what impact it's having on my bandwidth usage?

Referer spam is not being automatically deleted at this time, only Trackback spam is being automatically removed. Referer spam is next on our list; it's a bit more diffficult to do from a technical perspective but solving this problem is very high priority for us.

I would like to know how to interpret my usage data with this sort of spam, ie what figures are still meaningful, and also what impact it's having on my bandwidth usage?

As I noted in this post with respect to referer spam:

Quote:
Referer spam actually uses less bandwidth than a legitimate page request by a real user since the "robot" which sends the fake request for your web page never downloads images, javascript, css, etc. It just sends a forged request for an HTML document so this has a lot less impact on your site's bandwidth consumption than a legitimate page request which would also download the images and so on along with the HTML document.


We're working on bringing the referer spam problem under control to make your site stats more meaningful again.
