Indeed spam referral is a massive problem... In fact most people dont even realize it and think they are getting much more traffic than what they are really getting.... I've had major issues with semalt which got me to take action with blocking access to my web server....

Simply add the below code to your website .htaccess noting that you need to add your sites to it. Its a great piece of code which not only blocks but redirects the spam referrer back to the semalt spam referral site..

# BEGIN DETER SEMALT
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*semalt\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*kambasoft\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*savetubevideo\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*yapoga\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*bottlenose\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*descargar-musica-gratis\.net [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*baixar-musicas-gratis\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.semalt.com [R=301,L]
# END DETER SEMALT

For me this has worked wonders.... Although you will need to keep on top if it with adding more sites to your deter list....

Do not make listing on low PA DA sites giving no follow link.

This is the major issue with most of the bloggers who are facing issue with spam referral traffic. You can create a filter in your Google analytics account and exclude the spam sites to showing up on your analytics account. There are also few plugins available in WordPress to stop spam traffic like Stop spam traffic, Wordfence, All in one wp security etc.
