What is kambasoft.com?

I'm beginning to see traffic from kambasoft.com in the analytic data from almost all my sites. It usually appears only once per day. Is this a bot?

Why does it show as a visitor if it is a bot?

Same here.

How do we add websites on a blacklist....do we even have blacklists?

I'm getting it, too.

Is this showing as a referrer? Or the organizations?

same here. fake traffic from them.
They are:
26.kamasoft.com
and recently musicas.kamasoft.com

Mumbai based
http://www.kamatsoft.com/

by the way, it shows as referrers

Same problem here.. with pretty much all my sites.

This also is my question, been happening for awhile, shows as being from all over the world, as referring link--shows the "kambasoft" with my website name at the end. Previously I've clicked on it and it goes to some kind of advertising, first time it was for something like heating ducts in Poland, lately the links went to a "vancity" site that sells computers in Vancouver . . . . Perhaps simply "spam" . . . didn't check for cookie deposits . . . . What's in it for them if I don't have Clicky and don't get curious about it? Seems like it's growing in frequency, which is noticeable because I don't get a lot of traffic on my site.

Will there be any updates or follow up on this thread? See again that kambasoft has "stopped by" my site . . . this time from Turkey . . . so obviously the kambasoft issue has not gone away . . . . Is there anything to do about it, or this is just like the water cooler?? Thanks for any updates.

I got new one

youtube-downloader.savetubevideo.com

This is next "Referral" link I get from.

I too have been having trouble with kambasoft appearing in my analytics. It's linked to a number of domains, such as the "savetubevideo" one that's just been mentioned and along with a handful more.

I've put together a post on how to block these nuisance bots from accessing your website: http://www.dalerodgers.co.uk/block-semalt-referrer-spam/

Whatever you do, don't use the form on their website - it seems to subject you to further spam!

Thanks Dale,

I read your post and did exactly as you advised. Let`s see how it will work from now on.
By the way, I have never used their services, I have no idea who they are either.

To solve this 'problem' I blocked following IP's (Kambasoft en youtube-downloader.savetubevideo.com):

217.23.15.0-217.23.15.255
217.23.7.0-217.23.7.167

Both IP-ranges belong to:

I get lots of visitors trying to copy my site. Is there a way I could blacklist and/or block their IP address or unique Id?
