Referrer log spam

I am using the referrer log script Refer and in order to reduce spam there are some mechanisms, including a basic block of certain terms in the referred URL (my current list can be seen below).

Dear readers: Do you know any better solutions to this problem, possibly referer-log scripts that use Blacklistst and can update these lists automatically?

/* Fill these in to halt the recording of unwanted referrals   
    (e.g., an overly frequent google search, or a robot that
    inserts a referrer for every page it visits) by matching a
    distinct phrase. To add more, just duplicate a line and put
    a different match phrase inside 'quotes'.                    */

    $rcfg['exclude'][] = ‘viagra’;
    $rcfg['exclude'][] = ’sex’;
    $rcfg['exclude'][] = ‘blogspot.com’;
    $rcfg['exclude'][] = ‘hilton’;
