Google Analytics Is Junk!
I really don't like or understand why Google hates my site.
Direct Traffic with no time on page or anything else done leaves me scratching my head.
If anyone can help me to understand how to stop this nonsense please let me know.
Here is one from bing
That's all I got for this very brief post.

Yeah but these are direct links and I searched all over Google, inside of Google Help and only got more confused by what I read. It's getting to the point where I may just start promoting one thing and then learn about paid advertising. These search engines change too often and have too many problems to trust.
I know having unfamiliar circumstances like this can be a little nerve wrecking. I'd trust Kyle on this one, and press on with creating more content.
My Friend Kyle give you an appropriate answer,
I only can tell you that before in my past I always looked out for the problems and I had a hell of times! because I lost time and stopped for understanding the problem and try to fix it, but never really I did fix it! or by the time I found a way to fix it, was already not a problem no more,
Have a good day!
I have figured out sometimes "direct" traffic is actually from Google etc. Also, the time on page may show as zero when that is not true. I have seen instances where someone was on my site and Analytics showed zero time on page but I know they were there for a while.
Basically, you can't trust it. It is a good reference but not highly accurate.
I am confused about how to even know which things to work on now. No numbers to go by with 115 post makes it seem pointless.
Hi Eric, how about you ask for Site feedback specifically about your content, and try to collect various opinions? Just a thought.
That is likely bot traffic, there is plenty of that online. It has nothing to do with Analytics or Google hating you, your traffic spike was not natural and was related to something else taking place that created this boost.
It looks like you have a high bounce rate because there's some spam referral traffic hitting your site. Here's the link I used to filter them out, and maybe it will help you as well: Tracking in Google Analytics and filtering Referral Spam from Historical Reports

It's a process where you have to go to

and set it up for each website you want it to track.
Those videos will all help you set up the tracking and tools that you can use to make your website optimal in the search engines.
