Google Analytics is Giving Crazy Numbers. HELP!
Hi guys and sorry, this is normally a question, but I have to upload screenshots and can't do that in the questions area (maybe that should change).
I set up Google Analytics just couple of days ago. My first website has been live for about two months with only 3 posts.
Today, I checked in my Google Analytics account the Audience Overview:
How to crunch these numbers?
I thought maybe comments I got here at WA count, but they all date back to October. So they're not WA commentators :)
Maybe it's just me? But I just checked the posts couple of times. Could I have generated this number of sessions and pageviews? But visits spike ( I split my sides laughing at this word.. spike! like 3 people... maybe my website's gonna crush at 10 :) the spike started on November 19 as you can see above. Besides, I don't understand how only 6 users could generate these numbers, something must be wrong?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
ZED,

Probably bots testing your security.
Good that you have hosted at WA.
Sad but true.
Thank you Craig! Nothing to be sad about :)
If that's the case, is there a way to tell between bots and real visits?
So the SiteProtect feature here at WA only prevent spam comments but bots can still get through?
There isn't a way to keep the bots from your site that I am aware of.
