I'm still getting over 1000 hits per day from somewhere in Russia. jim-duncan.blogspot.co.uk Is there a sensible way of stopping these inflating my otherwise pageview count? The assumption that this is a 'wonky' search engine in Russia is mine. |

Just be happy that you are either feeding Putin's intelligence guys useless data or overloading their systems. |

Or, they think you're important enough to try to hack your PC. |

Hacking attempts to inject your site with hidden content (boosting Google ranks with bogus links), hidden ads, or just malware. Saw this happen on our site with links that appeared two screen widths off the right edge of the screen. |

Jim it's one guy, who checks in every 10 minutes to see whether you have added any more thoughts about your Kallista AWI figures :-) |

Hi Norm That's a pity as I've just put the Kallistra AWI figures on the back burner. |

Is there a sensible way of stopping these inflating my otherwise pageview count? Basically …no. The "hits" are "referrer spam" which donīt Show up as much as legitimate hits. Blogger filters canīt stop it so, unfortunately, nor can we. A pain in the rear but unstoppable. Iīve taken to making a note (on a hidden post on the blog) of the Spikes and the subtracting it from an average/normal monthly traffic count Read this discussion here; linkYou can look up one of the contributors comments on Referrer Spam (nitecruzr on the above link) but the Site loads slowly (for me at least) linkGood advice is from Prayag Verma (on the top link) The best precaution that you can take is not clicking on these from your Blogger Stats , this will alert the spammers that your clicked through and will send more traffic. Typically, the links are artificially placed in your stats, meaning your blog URLs don't appear on the site and you're not actually getting traffic from it so don't worry. I stupidly clicked on one of the odd Ukrainian Hotel links a while back and got a big spike in spam. |
