also I just want to block that one link from that one directory - if that means I have to block a range of IP's belonging to that company then so be it - they don't send me any clicks anyhow.

you don't seem to be understanding this, You cannot block an "link".

Google goes to the hijacker's site, sees the url that is nothing more than a 302 redirect and sticks it in its database.

later googlebot (from google's IPs) comes and spiders that URL and is redirected to your content. Gbot never realizes that the url is not really where the content is.

please tell me what IP you plan to block? the page that is linking to you? it will do no good. the only Ips that ever access your site are the IPs of people/bots that are viewing your site.
