In this video you're going to learn how to remove spam traffic from your Google Analytics reports.
2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:14,130
So as you were looking at your acquisition reports you may see that especially in the referrals section
3
00:00:14,210 --> 00:00:21,450
a report you might notice some Web sites that are look a bit strange that are sending you high volumes
4
00:00:21,450 --> 00:00:25,450
of traffic but that their balance rates are extremely high.
5
00:00:25,630 --> 00:00:29,130
They're not engaging with the site at all.
6
00:00:29,190 --> 00:00:34,430
The names are usually a telltale sign if they're spam sites or not.
7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,410
Well you can always just do a quick search in google if you're not sure and type in the domain name
8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:48,270
and then spam and you can really check if other people have reported it as a spam's site really want
9
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:52,770
your Google Analytics data to be as accurate as possible and is useful.
10
00:00:52,770 --> 00:01:00,360
So if there's a site that's contributing a lot of traffic that's really altering your numbers and giving
11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,230
an inaccurate view of how many visitors and real visitors are actually coming to the site.
12
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:12,160
That is really the reason that you'd want to remove at the this spam traffic from your reports.
13
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:16,020
So to do that you want to come up to your admin section.
14
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:22,770
And again you're going to put in a filter to really remove this traffic from your side so we can click
15
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:24,270
out a filter.
16
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:26,450
We can give it the name.
17
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:27,700
Remove spam traffic
18
00:01:31,570 --> 00:01:34,340
or we can set it as a custom filter.
19
00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:44,780
We can then set the filter field to campaign source and then we can put in the name of the spam site
20
00:01:44,830 --> 00:01:45,430
there.
21
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Then we can just go ahead and click we can actually verify this filter which in this case wouldn't because
22
00:01:54,030 --> 00:01:56,880
this is just a aside I made up.
23
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,390
But then to really save the filter you can just click save.
24
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:08,070
One thing to note is that this filter to filter spam traffic and any filter on Google Analytics does
25
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:17,280
not apply retroactively meaning it won't be removed from your reports up to date but any reports going
26
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,020
forward that traffic will be filtered out of it.
27
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,660
So usually it's good to maybe leave it a day or two and then come back and make sure that for those
28
00:02:24,660 --> 00:02:30,260
last two days that they're at that site isn't showing up as any referral traffic.
29
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:35,730
So never you know had to remove spam traffic from your Google Analytics reports come into the admin

00:02:35,730 --> 00:02:41,910
