How to get rid of this New “Log or Referral Spam”?

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.

Watch out WEBSPAM I’m Coming for You


  Check out your current Keyword position or you website ranking in Google and if you see its suddenly went down, do not get shocked. Google has updated Penguin 2.1 this October second. I got shocked when some of my pages went down from first page, and i was digging what my competitors did. I could see that, they also went somewhere in other pages.

In the previous update, Penguin was only looked at the home page. And in the new generation Penguin going to look deeper in some areas and the impact is going to be much bigger.

Adwords becomes more cool with this feature as we were not able to use this so far and were using the tool Adwords Editor to edit and build out campaigns and ad groups.

Yesterday Google announced a visual tool for building interactive html5 sites and Ads. Now get rid of annoying, blinking flash ads on the web with html5 Ads. The best part is, this is gonna be working in a universal platform. Flash doesnt, probably won't ever, run on ios.
