Saturday, October 5, 2019
Edit
I've discussed referer spam before, together with its visibility inwards Stats logs produced past times newer, less pop blogs.
There is ever the strange mature together with pop blog, also showing referer spam inwards its Stats logs. Mature together with pop blogs, published past times experienced spider web log owners, may withal live on dependent plain to referer spam.

Referer spam is less visible, inwards Stats logs produced past times mature together with pop blogs - but it is non invisible.
Most experienced spider web log owners tin recognise most referer spam.
Most owners of mature together with pop blogs larn to recognise referer spam - past times observing trends betwixt their blogs, together with over periods of time. Once they recognise it, inwards their logs, they know to ignore it - together with they displace on, to to a greater extent than productive activity.
That is like to how Google identifies referer spam - they tin hold back at thousands of blogs simultaneously, together with compare trends. Some trends may live on visible past times observing referer traffic amid multiple blogs, during the same fourth dimension menses - together with other trends may live on visible past times observing referer activity inwards ane or ii blogs, over a menses of days or weeks.
New together with subtle referer spam is non then easily recognised, past times all spider web log owners.
With a novel referer spam technique, attacking a few blogs, to a greater extent than or less owners may fault the assault for actual reader activity.
Given a few days, the spammers volition travail the same technique against a dissimilar blog. Eventually, Google volition identify a trend - together with volition take away the bogus activity, from the Stats logs on all blogs existence attacked.
Activity past times Google, removing Stats log entries, leads to spikes inwards Stats displays.
With a newer spider web log that has low genuine traffic, an possessor of an attacked spider web log may notice the changes inwards pageview counts.

Blog owners who notice alone a few samples of visitor activity, inwards their Stats logs, may confuse transient visitor activity, amongst referer spam. Again, Google, able to notice thousands of blogs, simultaneously, is improve able to position - together with to take away - bogus activity from our Stats logs.
Real people hit read our blogs, too. Google is exactly improve able to position activity past times existent people - given plenty time.
