This is how to block unwanted visitors based on the referring domain. You can also save bandwidth by blocking specific file types — such as .jpg, .zip, .mp3, .mpg — from specific referring domains. Simply replace “scumbag” and “wormhole” with the offending domains of your choice:
# block visitors referred from indicated domains
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} scumbag\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} wormhole\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .* – [F]
</ifModule>
