Hi,
I'm new on this forum. From now will be checking this awesome forum regularly..

I've a question.
I created a link shortening site (Yourls script) jus 2-3 weeks ago.
After 4-5 july i see alot of people started shortening a link.
4-5 days ago i used google analygics on it. And today i see that the analytics of june 22 to July 22
There were 17k+ views and 31k+ page views.
Now it might be great because i used google analytics 4-5 days ago...

But here is one thing that all the traffic is from UK. Ive a asked a friend he said that it might be real traffic bcz google analytics dont catch bots..

The site is new, no alexa rank, 0 page rank. I can't share the site right now because ive to design it.. The domain im using is a three letter domain (***.pw)


So can anyone tell that is this really real traffic or bots..?

    You're in the best position to determine this, since you have access to the IP address, the referring page, the browser, operating system, and so on. Now, granted, much of that can be faked, but it's at least something to review. Without any of that data, not much can be determined.

      Yes the IP addrsses are usually not same. Almost all are different.
      More than half of the traffic is direct and some of the traffic is reffer..

      Google analytics is showing not set on browser and operating system. I'll later check on the same thing on admin panel
