| Having detailed and accurate traffic stats on Google Analytics is important when it comes to making business decisions. Lately, there’s been an increase in Ghost Spam hitting Google Analytics which is throwing off your traffic stats! So what is Google Analytics Referral or Ghost Spam? Google Analytics Ghost Spam is the term given to the fake referral traffic stats that appear in Google Analytics like in the image shown above. Who would want to send fake traffic to your site? Other websites trying to promote themselves of course. You’ll notice most Ghost Spam comes from sites selling products or services targeted towards webmasters. Google Analytic Spammers accomplish this using the following 2 methods: 1. They have bots randomly visit your site, which logs a bunch of visitor sessions on your analytics. 2. They have bots calling Google Analytic ID’s in random succession, which again loads your analytics referral stats with a bunch of fake data. These Stat Spammers Must Be Stopped! To remove this fake traffic from your Google Analytics, it’s necessary to apply a series of filters to discard traffic coming from certain referrers and accept traffic coming only from valid hostnames. It's truly a headache! Fortunately for you, I’ve decided to offer this service and handle this task for you at a very low, one-time cost of $20 per domain. Hire me today and I will create a new view inside of your Google Analytics account that will have all Ghost Spam removed. You’ll still have access to your standard view which includes the Ghost Spam just incase you ever want to compare the two. The new view will only show stats from the time it’s created therefore historical data will be unaffected. For payment details please contact me here. I accept Paypal and Bitcoin. You can expect about a 48 hour turnaround time on this task. If you have any questions or concerns, please PM me. |
