How To Control Visits From Vampirestat and Adsensewatchdog ?

Have you ever annoyed by these sites which increases your visits in your blog and no visits appear in analytics? or Whos.amung.us tooblbar?. Yes i have been also blessed by the anonymous robot visits from vampirestat and watchdog. I was really pissed off when i saw different statistics in blogger and google-analytics and in adsense window. I contacted google then and there. They replied within a week and told, "none of the visits were human. means they were just bots, designed to crwal your pages and ignore it. Your analytics status would be your true views." 

See the sample statistics of my webpage for a month and around 25% views are dominated by these bots


Peggy at Google productforum who is a moderator helped a lot in understanding the behaviour of these bots. 
Follow these steps and avoid these bots visiting much again

  • Dont click on the referred sites link in your blog status

    When you click on the link, bots are activated which crawl your page exponentially. I too paid a visit and got extra 50 visits (false bot visits). Never click on these links or visit their site. Doing so, you can turn down the volume to around 100/so a month.
  • Dont refer/enter your site address in that bot webpage

    Some pages offer to give you the ranking free. Believe me, nothing comes free off cost. Install the alexa toolbar or whos.amung.us toolbar to track visitors to your site and find your site rank
  • Dont ever like or share them at their webpage

    Liking or sharing can allow their cookie to be used in a harmful way. If you did that already, clear your browser using c-cleaner
