Hi,
I've created a cam site (not a WL), indexed it in SEs, bought backlinks, and my last step was to add links to social medias. Bad idea: not only I got banned after posting a handful of links over a period of time, but a smart a.. has unleashed his bots against my website.
I'm sure it is funny but I spent much time and effort putting this up.
My question is: can anyone just ruin a website by sending bots thus increasing the bounce rate or is there a way to block these. I have added entries in my htaccess as before the originator was [insert name of social media here] but now it reads "Direct" so I can't really know.
My assessment is they are bots because my bounce rate went up to 87% from 60-65% and then most visits are landing that page I backlinked on that social media.
