You should also create ?lters for the advanced segments to ensure your site's safety and protection. Also, you can create customized dimension and add vertical lines followed by the suspicious domain names. You should bear in mind that the spammers register plenty of domains every day, so if you manage more than two Google Analytics accounts, you should install Google's automated problem tracking tool called as Auto Spam Filters to ensure your safety and protection. https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1804.html 3/4

As Google Analytics operates under the precipice of the JS tracking and measurement protocol, you should keep an eye on both of them as they depend on unidenti?ed client machines sending out the HTTP requests. Analytics Toolkit is the best kit for webmasters who want to ascertain the authenticity of their statistics. This tool is equipped with auto spam ?lter which keeps off the referral spam. https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1804.html 4/4
