| Jan 10, 2015 at 3:49 | comment | added | closetnoc | Okay. You are right. My bad!! I am not sure why I did not pick this up because I was just reading about some of this just prior to this question. I am getting hit by referrer spam too and one article mentioned (briefly) that there were no entries in their log files. Interesting new method. | |

Indeed, but apparently they are hitting GA directly instead of hitting their site. It seems these spammers are using scripts to spam directly to GA (i.e. they are not logged in my IIS).

| Jan 10, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | John Conde♦ | If they're not hitting their website, which is what I believe they said, then this wouldn't be an effective method of blocking them. Or did I read the question wrong? | |
| Jan 10, 2015 at 3:42 | comment | added | closetnoc | Do you have any IIS advice that can help? I can help with Apache, but the OP seems to have IIS. | |
