Google Analytics /Cpanel getting spam hostnames [closed]

Question

Over the last few weeks I have seen a lot of 00:00:00 sessions come from spamming servers. I want a way to not only block them in Analytics but also in cPanel if possible.

If anyone knows the best way to remove all spamming hostnames please share.

Answer 1

Blocking Spam Traffic From within Google Analytics

You can use a combination of 2 filters to stop all the spam in google analytics:

• A Valid Hostname Filter that will take care of all ghost spam in any form (referral, organic or fake direct visit)
• A Campaign Source Filter with an expression built with all the known Crawlers Spam.

As an extra you can enable the built-in feature “Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders“, this option will exclude all the traffic from bots/crawlers that are not spam but they aren’t human visits either.

Blocking Spam Traffic From cPanel

You can use IP Deny Manager within cPanel to block spam referrals.
