Lots of strange traffic coming to my site (bot?) apparently from google
In the past 10 mins my site has had a few hundred “visits” (must be a bot of some sort) apparently from Google using this keyword: rb(dot)gy/ap0kn8
The Mod spam filter won’t allow me to publish the full keyword, it’s a URL shortener apparently, but obviously replace the (dot) with an actual “.”.
Anyone any idea what this might be?
It’s landing on the home page – but for some reason GA displays these visits without a page title, while genuine visits to the home page display the page title.

Probably that script is loading your GA code directly and does not bother loading your whole website.
The referrer, including the keyword, are fake. It is a ploy to get you to click on the URL shortener. Nothing else.

Just ignore it if it is r help ring your conversions

I had a few hundred visits from the exact same URL. Weird however, the bounce rate was .83% when bot traffic is usually near 100%. Any ideas?

I am having the exact same issue on my website.
330 new users but 0% of bounce all coming from a weird URL that looks like yours. -
Same issue here. Just noticed it today. Horray for more bots to block lol

The same URL rb(dot)gy/ap0kn8 landed on the homepage of one of the client’s websites with hundreds of traffic. It is probably a bot.

Yep, i got the exact same thing,
I looked it up on google (without clicking) and saw some Chinese weird images… might be an SEO black gat trick?
did any one click it though, i’m just so curious haha
