In one of my websites (or all of my sites I guess) I am getting keywords from searchers that are jibberish or random having nothing to do with what my site is about

for example, my site is on fitness and dieting and exercise niche, below are the keywords being put in, for organic search in analytics:

1. how.to.travel.and.make.67207465.money.online.for.f ree.with.maps.ilovevitaly.com

2. с.новым.годом.рф

Are these spam inputs??

    Seems so. Where are you getting these keywords from? A statistics solution? If so, which one? Keywords used to find your site kind of info is gathered from the referrer value in the site request. However, that value can be programmatically set, and unfortunately, spammers are using that method to get in front of you when you're looking at your stats.

    Not a whole lot you can do about it.

    Hope that helps!

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    Yep, referral spam. I believe if you check out loganix.net they have a download or at the very least some info on how to deal with that. Really screws up your analytics.
