Google analytics is reporting traffic x10. Whats going on?

问题


I've previously used statcounter, which does a great job. I'm looking to start tracking with google analytics as well, but it seems to be way off.

I tried to figure out the cause of the discrepancy and it looks like google is counting each page view times 5,10 or sometimes even more. For example, this is a site I barely use. I accessed it at 11:00 today. Instead of showing just 1 hit from me, its showing 10 users as having gone to the site

Similar things are happening with my other sites as well.

Do I have some weird setting turned on?

The unusual spike on direct traffic is most likely caused by spam, lately spam like free-share-buttons and similars, have been hitting with fake direct visits along with the referral.

The usual way to stop the spam by adding a filter for the referral won't work on this case since the fake direct visits will still go through.

To stop the fake direct traffic and any form of ghost spam, referral, keyword, page... you can use a filter that includes only your valid hostnames. You can find more information about this solution here
