- A logo and some small banners
If you have some time and want to contribute doing some of these, pm me or reply here.
There is no fee (the script is open source) but I will mention your name and website in the credits - contributions section of the site.

No problem :) But would like to hear what you have in mind for the logo before I start. And banner sizes you want.

To be honest I am not sure what I want.
The only thing that I would like to have for sure is a very small button banner (like the rdf - xml buttons) to make it easier to get linked from other sites.

What about a design for the website?
Where can I let you see the finished stuff? But might take a few days though. :)

That's nice ! (at least is better from what I've done :) )
The only thing I don't like much is the logo, but it is ok, we will find something for it.
Also we need a new section called 'credits' which will have the names of the people (like you) that contributed to the project
Thanks for your help :)

I am not sure. Leave it as it is and we'll see what we'll do about it.
Sorry that I am acting like my worst web design client (:) ) but I was never good with the graphics thing

Here is a corrected page...
About Referrer Spam
Referrer Spam has become a serious problem in recent years. To help combat this problem we need to understand what Referrer Spam is.
Referrer Spam is a spamming technique that is used by webmasters in order to generate back links to their site.
Spam Method
Firstly, the spammer creates a simple script that searches sites just like search engine bots do, but the only difference is that these scripts send a referrer header with their own site's address.
Why to do this you may ask? Many sites have their statistics page indexed by a number of search engines. This means that if the spammer can get his site listed in the stats page, then it will give this referrer?s site higher ranking in search engines too. This also allows that more search engines will crawl the link back to their site.
What are the effects of this technique? Well first of all, as more sites are dealing with this type of spam (as it is the only legal way to spam at the moment), they waste a lot of bandwidth of the "attacked" sites, plus they create a false image of the site's statistics.
These are the reasons why I have created this script for you to use for free.
Feel free to make further changes... Just make note that Referrer is spelt with a double "r". You can change that throughout the site in the mean time.
