Hi Folks,

I was getting almost 70 hits a day recently and thought this was good - until had a closer look on Google Analytics. Turns out these 'Hits' have been coming from Share-Buttons etc...a type of 'Ghost Referrer Spam' , and not from actual traffic or actual site visits from genuine visitors. Check out the link below which will show you how to setup a filter to stop this spam.
