Blocking websites.

[TeamacPaints]

We have noticed an abundance of requests for some free colour cards on our website, however these are coming from a russian freebie website. how can i block this website, so the link from that forum doesn't work?

Do you mean physically block them ? I suppose you could technically set up a global redirect off site or similar.

Have you tried emailing the webmaster of that site?  That would be my first option.  You can even use Google Translator to help contact them in Russian if needed.

You can't stop the link from their site working.... Definitely contact the Webmaster site first and if that doesn't work you can set up a htaccess redirect for any traffic coming specifically from that site... Send them to a page saying "sorry" and make the most of the traffic and try and sell them something else
