Analytics Spammer Can Haz Humors: Who Else?

[Travis_Bailey]

Yeah... the traffic is annoying. But seeing this (attached image) in my GA was pretty funny. Obviously it was only a couple hits. I thought it was pretty cute in comparison to the other actions.

watch out as those couple of hits can become read the carelessly large I have a client that had 17,000 spam hits in one day.

My best advice is to follow the steps shown in the photograph I posted below yours and in this URL

1. http://moz.com/blog/how-to-stop-spam-bots-from-ruining-your-analytics-referral-data
2. http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2015/03/19/eliminating-dumb-ghost-referral-traffic/
3. http://www.analyticsedge.com/2014/12/removing-referral-spam-google-analytics/

the ghost referral spam is the worst it's constantly updating and if you're getting it now prepare to block

I hope this helps,

Tom

Thanks, but it's just some entrance keyword data. Kind of funny at that. Sure, the spam can increase. But I can set a segment as well as any other. I have extra profiles for filtering fun, if things get 'pucker worthy'.

• so my guess is it is still coming from the referral spam because once Google or Moz any crawler that
• a tool that can assimilate keywords with inbound links anchor text and context it is normally a sign of
• referral spam. Hopefully we're not into a new era of something new.
• Try blocking everything via analytics and a WAF  I recommend  Incapsula,  Distill Networks & Sucuri WAF

Sucuri is awesome And only $9 a Month https://sucuri.net/website-firewall/

I Hope this helps,
