Hello everyone,

I am here today to give you a quick fix if you're in trouble getting bad traffic to your site.

Usually this might be from traffic exchange sites, social exchange, auto traffic etc...

I just found out today that I was getting lot of referral traffic from 'trafers.com'. This is a traffic exchange site which sends useless traffic. This results in 100% bouncing rate, which hurts ranking, so... how we get rid of such issue?

How get my site listed there? It can be someone who is driving bad traffic to my site in order to mess with my rankings? It may be...

But does't really matter, we are all getting there and we need to fix it!

By the way, filtering it in analytics will not solve the issue, we need to get rid of it, or it will hurt.

After I searched a lot about that and found out complex solutions, like editing the Htaccess File or installing some plugin (which I found, but were to complex and would mess with site security too, or not updated for years), I remembered ... the training!

How Kyle said in the beginning that we need no more plugins, that we have all we need. If so, where it is the solution for my problem with bad traffic?

I start looking... you remember when Kyle recommended All in One SEO plugin?

Take a look here:

Solve it! Thanks Kyle, it is good I paid attention on training...

I could end messing with editing the Htaccess File or adding another plugin to solve this issue.

I hope you find this useful,

Good luck to you all!
