Last week I had a discussion with friend regarding on some suspect
full visits from different countries to his site. And we decided to filter that
country from Analytics. But I think the problem is not yet solved.
Today I was checking my analytics and found a drastic
difference in the bounce rate as well as visits. These visits are coming from “www.seoanalyses.com” and
the visits are coming from different countries like Homyel, Gatchina,
Odesa etc. Referrer spam also known as log spam or referrer bombing.
I think “seoanalyses”
is referring spam for two reasons.
- ·
To get visit to their site from the people who
are being spammed.
- ·
If anyone has their server/website access logs
public they may actually receive an indexed backlink.
This benefits the spammer because of the free link, which
gives the spammer's site improved search engine ranking due to
link-counting algorithms that search engines use.
We can’t stay without doing anything, coz if you check your
analytics you can see that the bounce rate is 100% for these visits. And we are
all aware that Google thinks a site with high bounce rate is a bad site.
I have a solution for this and I’m going to try this now,
Use htacess and block their visits
RewriteCond
%{HTTP_REFERER} (seoanalyses) [NC]
RewriteRule .* -
[F]
Please do not visit this site if you see this in Google
Analytics.
