Spam sites

I there a way to block all these referrer sites from China and Indonesia etc?

I don't get any.
Now, Google Analytics has a huge problem with that and this post seems like a GA spam post.
Or, you submitted your website to free directory listing. You can go to the host and remove your listing.

Hello,

we're also having many issues with these unwanted referrer sites (the problem started about a month ago. We know that with Google Analytics, we can apply filters to block them. Can you confirm if we can do the same with Clicky? Thank you

Hey, I also have a couple of eccentric websites showing up as referrals.It seems to be somehow manageable.

I've seen some extreme cases at work in GA where you get traffic spikes and are being able drill down hundreds of there websites for a given month.

Tim over at wordfence told me to read this: http://docs.wordfence.com/en/I_have_a_referrer/IP_address_blocked_in_advanced_blocking_but_Google_Analytics_says_it_hit_my_site._Why_is_that%3F

It describes how to filter in GA. I'm getting 1000 visits a day from a spoofed IP/user-agent that says it's Bingbot.

It's something to do with Jquery and how GA gets it's info. He said it theoretically does not go to your site, it just shows as a hit in GA. etc. etc. Read Article.

I'm also curious how to filter this in Clicky. These hits are taking over and ruining everything for me at this point. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

This is what the first page of my visitors looks like:

I'm also seeing other traffic on wordfence and it's not showing on Clicky. I'm totally confused what to do now.

ChicagoSEOConsultants, you have the "log bots" preference set for that site, so yeah, Bing is going to get logged.

Any visitor with "bot" in their user agent string gets blocked automatically you have that preference enabled.

Of course there are many more checks we do besides this but this is one of the most basic ones.

Thanks Admin!

Does anyone know: Is it normal for Bingbot to hit a site that many times??

Additional Info: Bingbot is crawling old URL's (subdomain) "blog.site.com/article" (these are 404 pages, we moved content to "site.com/article", and are slowly working on 301 redirect 7000 pages.)

I think it's a spoofed Bingbot. Any experience or information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It is normal for bots to slam your site like that in batches, the reason it seems overwhelming is because the cookie is being reset with every "page view" so we're counting each page view as a unique visitor.

I had the same problem and found this method to remove crawlers here is the link
