I’ve Just Had A HUGE Surge in Daily Website Visitors! Oh, Wait. It’s Those Bonehead Bots
Good evening, everyone! I pray that you all are doing well today. Tonight has been quite the revealing evening. As I prepare to type another article for my website (due to my daytime job, my article typing has been pushed back to the evenings), I happen to check Google Analytics-perhaps I’m getting a bit more traffic to my website. As I open the page, I discover that I’ve had a HUGE boost in website traffic today (we’re talking a daily traffic jump of more than 3,800 people!)! As I analyze these statistics, however, I discover that this isn’t legitimate traffic at all, but bot traffic. I’ve included a screenshot of my “statistics” below: the numbers can explain things much better than I can. Haha.
The most telling factors of this sudden surge in traffic were the ridiculously quick session times (less than 1 second), and the alarmingly high bounce rate (I had a bounce rate of 99.75%). It’s clear that bots have entered the asylum, are artificially pumping up daily website traffic counts, and are giving aspiring entrepreneurs like myself a false sense of hope (my hope isn’t in Google, anyway. It’s in God, through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
).
May I ask what I should do to fix this bot problem? I would appreciate any and all responses. Thank you all so much! I love you all, and God bless you all, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

It's really disappointing when you get excited thinking you've had loads of traffic and then realise they were bots.
Good afternoon, Geoffrey! I pray that you and your family are doing well today! While I was definitely disappointed to discover that bots had gotten to my site, I know that God will bless me to get there authentically (and to make sales in the process) in time! I'll certainly keep my head up! God bless you!
