I had the same problem over the weekend. I ended up blacklisting Google. At least for a while. I get the feeling it's not Google, but someone wanting us to blacklist Google, but it worked, didn't it?

so nobody is going to help me ?

I'm having that problem as well. 8000+ hits!

I just use the ban button but delete all the hits (even though that gets rid of the legitimate searches too :( ), but it is irritating seeing that.

somebody please Rescue us ... we need HELP

I'm not sure it's anything anyone can do anything about. Google is legit, but someone is probably spoofing it to eat up bandwitdth. Someone with too much time on their hands. The only solution I can see is to ban google, which I have, at least for now. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than nothing.

First, ban/delete/report the spammer. If you don't want to you don't have to, but that is what the tool is for. Second, each referer hit has an IP associated with it. That means when you click the ban symbol next to a spammer you'll see all the IPs the spammer is using. Sometimes they're all different, and sometimes they're all the same, and sometimes you can find two or three IPs that cover the majority of the hits from a heavy spammer.

EDIT: UPGRADE!!! disp=stats has no meaning or value in the dawn package.

Apply the solutions suggested in the following post:

[url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=5322]How to control referer spam hits from search engines[/url][/list:u] These solutions include:

• [url=http://b2evolution.net/man/2004/12/29/control_referer_spam_howto]removing the "disp=stats" link[/url]

• [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=4459]making indexing your blog's homepage and individual posts only on search engines[/url][/list:u]

Those two solutions need search engines update their indexes. It takes about two weeks to proceed for the main three ones (Googe, MSN Search, Yahoo!). If somene is Google-bombing Google, find him by checking in Google:
link:the_full_url_of_your_stats_page[/list:u]and you'll get the list of pages linking to your stats page. If plenty of them come from one particular site, write a complaint to Google (there is a form [url=http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html]here[/url]). Use the [url=http://toolbar.google.com/options_help.html]"voting buttons" in the Google Toolbar[/url] on search results pages to tell Google of a very bad search result.

my version is 0.9.0.10

As said by Edb, update to 0.9.1 will resolve your problem. ?disp=stats has been removed
