Finally, I fixed the google analytics spam problem - GoFuckYourself.com

DumpManager · 01-03-2017, 10:25 AM

So for the past couple years at least I would be seeing all sorts of ghost traffic, referral spam, spoofed domains and garbage showing up in my google analytics.

I'm sure many of you have seen it, lots of xyz stuff, sharebutton, ilovitality or things like that.

I've tried many things, blocked so many and then new ones would appear. I blocked strings, new ones would appear. It was so annoyng.

Last month I did something a little different. I filtered out ALL of Russia.
Since then, not a single bit of analytics spam. None.

That's the fix. lol. It works perfectly.

Easy to use blocklists if one needs them, and regularly maintained.

This site has some great, constantly updated lists as well, and work flawlessly with fail2ban.

Blocklists.de

Some are pretty lengthy though, so use with caution.

This referral spam doesn't to your site at all, rather it pings your Analytics code UA-XXXXX directly to the Google server with custom referer, IP, user agent etc etc variables. Blocking IPs to your site won't help will it?

You got it right, it's not IP blocking them from your site. They actually never go to your site, it's all spoofed / ghost / fake traffic. It's purely to have a cleaner and more accurate google analytics.

You do it in the filter part and it's not a big list, you can actually just choose to filter out by country. Just pick Russia and watch as the spam vanishes before your very eyes.
