Limit amount of clicks per day

    $click_allowed = true;
    foreach ($blacklist as $disallowedpage) 
        if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'], $disallowedpage) !== false) $click_allowed=false;
?>

Later you can just check against your prohibited pages, something like this

PHP Code:

<?php
    if ($click_allowed) echo 'This is a normal user';
    else echo 'You should not use any click services';
?>

If you would like to limit the number of clicks everyday you would need to add an extra table to your MySQL.

Hope it helped

This looks cool, but seems that you made a typo here:

PHP Code:

    $blacklist = Aray(/*Terms that identify banned sites for example:*/ 'yarolds', 'google'); 


It should be this if I am correct:

PHP Code:

    $blacklist = Array(/*Terms that identify banned sites for example:*/ 'yarolds', 'google'); 


But anyway I do not recommend the approach to block incoming traffic, since even without Yarold they can still find other ways to level up quickly. A better approach is to write a code that count how many clicks this very adoptable has received during the day and generates an error message if the number is above 10.
