Write the reason you're deleting this FAQ
Can you please help me with with. I often find referrer spam traffic in my analytics under organic traffic and it drives me crazy.
The first thing I want to know is how does these bots (are they bots?) find my website? Is it something I have done wrong or is it just something that happens when you have a website?
The next thing I need to know is what are the ways to remove these spam searches from my Google Analytics. It really makes my reporting very inaccurate and I don't like it at all.
I have done loads of searches online and I have tried the suggestions but nothing has worked so I am now feeling firstly very stupid and also very annoyed.
