Hey, my WA chums!

I have a website at the moment with the aim of helping people with public speaking anxiety. It is 3 weeks old and I am just filling it with content etc. I am ranked in Google but not getting any organic traffic yet.

  • Can anyone explain why I am getting all these hits from these "sharing" sources?
  • How do they get my URL?
  • Can I block these?
  • Why am I linked with a porn site??

Other than creating content I have not done any "black hat" SEO none-sense.

I am purely concentrating on content. Would appreciate any input to find out why I am being bombarded with these "hits"

Cheers guys!

P.S

I've gone YEARLY with my membership ! Boom!

I would like to know the answer myself - did you post this question in the classroom

I haven't no... where shall I post it?

the world of spam bots.........

Have you installed the Akismet plugin that usually blocks robots.Good advice from Marion. Gilles

Great post question, definitely something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the input guys. Will have a look at what Marion said. Stupid robots! :-)

I see you have gotten some excellent answers! Congratulations on your Yearly Membership!

Yes, a few of them are out there. Marion made a good point. hope it helps.

These are robots that are visiting your website and they cause a high bounce rate (not good). You can block these robots in Google Analytics. See 'https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=Lrz5dVEaT7Y' (remove the space and the quotes - they're only there so I can post it) for a demo of how to block one robot. Then do the same for them all. ~Marion

almost all sites get this kind of traffic. I don't think you can do anything to stop it.

I have also noted the "simple share buttons" one on my analytics. I have not paid much attention to the rest, but I think I will go back and take a more careful look!

Hi, - I've just set my filters, - and I had several ''simple share buttons'' ones, - should I delete that plugin and look for a better one?
