| Anger Kitty is dangerous |
I think every blogger has this problem: You have an eye on your statistics and are happy that your views are going up. But then you are looking closer and realise that some views are not real viewers but ping- or spambots which are not filtered out by Google. If you have millions of views this is a mere trifle but if you have only a handful of views a day, it messes everything up.
For me this is pretty annoying because in working life I have to deal with these *** bots (but can beat the crap out of 'em) and now they are messing up my blogger statistics without being able to do something against them because only Google can filter them out. Feeling like a hamster in his wheel is what angers me the most. You have to wait until somebody else fixes this problem. Or am I unaware of a solution to this problem?
How do you deal with the problem of pingbots? Is there a good solution without hosting everything yourself? Perhaps another statistics tool for blogger?
Questions above questions... Perhaps some of you know the answer.

I feel your pain mate.. really I do..
ReplyDeleteBest thing though is to ignore them, and whatever you do.. do not click on them inside your referring links pages.. then they come in with force and really mess around with your stats! Had that problem in the beginning.
Sorry that your comment wasn't displayed. Blogger thought you are a spammer. Fitting to my post, real spammers aren't recognized :-(
DeleteMy biggest problem is that I have the knowhow to block those bots, but can't use it here :-)
Hahah.. thats funny.. and actually.. it is happening a lot recently or so I am seeing.. wonder if they changed something and broke it in the process? :)
DeleteIronic that you are capable of dealing with them, yet unable to do so in this setting.
ReplyDeleteYep. Perhaps this motivates me to look into widget programming... ;)
