Tired of having your Google Analytics stats screwed up by fake visitors (referrer Spam)? If your site stats look like the screenshot above then you came to the right place to get it fixed.
What is Referrer Spam?
(also known as log spam or referrer bombing) is a kind of spamdexing (spamming aimed at search engines). The technique involves making repeated web site requests using a fake referer URL to the site the spammer wishes to advertise.
Many people think that these sites are linking to them nut they really are not. They are created in your Google Analytics account to trick you into visiting spammy websites which then tag you with affiliate cookies such as Amazon or Walmart. The reason for the cookie is so that if you make a purchase from one of the sites that you have been cookied for they will receive the commission.
Removing Referral Spam from Google Analytics
In order to stop referral spam from showing up in you Analytics stats is to create filters for them. Below I will show you how to do that.
In your Google Analytics, go to the Admin tab.
Under the View Column select Filters
Select New Filter
Put Referral Spam (or whatever name you wish) as a name for the Filter.
Select Filter Type Custom. In Filter Field, find and select Campaign Source. In the Filter Pattern text box, copy and paste the URL to the referrer you want to block ( in this example I added floating-share-buttons.com). Make sure you don’t add the WWW or any sub-domain just put the domain name.
Then just click “Save” . The filter might take up to 24 hours to take effect.
