In which reports can you find spam?

The same thing happens with Google Analytics, but instead of plugins, you use filters to protect it.

Spam traffic usually appears as a referral , but it can appear in any part of your reports, even in unsuspecting places like language or page titles.

Sometimes spammers try to fool you by using misleading URLs that are very similar to known websites, or they may try to get your attention by using unusual characters and emojis in the source name.

Regardless of the type of spam, there are 3 things you belgium number data always do when you think you've found one in your reports:

Never visit a suspicious URL. Most of the time they will try to sell you something or promote their service, but some spammers may have some malicious scripts on their site.
It goes without saying, but never install scripts from unknown sites. If for some reason you do, remove them immediately and scan your site for malware.
Filter spam in your Google Analytics to keep your data clean (more on this below).
If you're not sure if an entry in your report is real, try searching for the URL in quotes ("example.com"). Your browser won't open the site, but will instead show you search results. If it's spam, you'll usually see posts or forums complaining about it.

If you still can't find information about this specific entry, give me a shout — I might have some knowledge for you.
