Dear friends , Recently there is a huge increase my daily visitors rate. It is happening in every 2 days. My visitors rate increase suddenly ,and after 1-2 hours it decreases. And this affects my adsense earnings. I am worry that my adsense account can be blocked. The visitors are coming from these websites : redirect.ad-feeds.com catch-shk.com blogsvertie.com morningalert.com gratislinkup.com What can I do ? How can I prevent it ? Please Help me . Thanks in advance.
It looks like referral spam. If you have AWStats, you might be able to get more information about these visitors, like if they are from the same IPs (maybe several different ones, but a lot of visits from them). Anyway, if you are able to modify .htaccess, you can block them using something like: SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://(www.)?redirect.ad-feeds.com" referralspammer=1 SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://(www.)?morningalert.com" referralspammer=1 SetEnvIfNoCase Referer "^http://(www.)?blogsvertie.com" referralspammer=1 <FilesMatch "(.*)"> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Deny from env=referralspammer </FilesMatch> Code (markup): There are other ways to do it, but this is a simple one.
Well, the only thing it might do for Adsense is increase the page views. It's just referral spam (and they are wasting their time) and not really anything you can do on Blogger. Do your Adsense views match your visitors in the Blogger stats? During this time, do you appear to be getting any clicks? Unfortunately, using Blogger means you have very little control over who Adsense is displayed to, who can visit your site, etc. If you're really worried, disable Adsense. You're not being "hacked" though. Basically, referral spam is an old way of getting a backlink: some sites show (but it's not so common now) the top referrers (sites that send them the most traffic), so if you spam referrals then a link will show up. It's a rubbish black hat method.
