How to block “getrichquickly.info” referral spam in Google Analytics

Getrichquickly.info referral spam is a growing problem for many webmasters around the world. If you notice getrichquickly.info referral traffic mixed in with your website’s Google Analytics data it means that your Google Analytics account is being targeted by a spammer. Getrichquickly.info referral traffic is designed to desperately gain your attention and provoke you to visit the website. The referrer spam landing page promotes various get-rich-quick schemes, work-at-home scams, and advance-fee scams.

Getrichquickly.info referral spam is not essentially harmful to your website and it will not affect your rank in Google Search Results Pages; However, if you do not block getrichquickly.info spam from accessing your account it can ruin the data collected in your Google Analytics reports. For example, getrichquickly.info referrals will appear to land on a single webpage on your website and leave from the same website, which will create a 100% bounce rate. If your website is targeted by referrer spammers you may not be able to identify your website’s bounce rate. The same can be said about other data measured in most Google Analytics reports.

The reason why getrichquickly.info is spamming your website’s Google Analytics data is to get your attention and persuade you to visit the URL in your browser. As previously mentioned, the webpage is promoting work-from-home scams, like legitonlinejobs.com, that claim you can earn money online. The spam website also contains affiliate links for writing-jobs.net and other websites.

We do not recommend websites that engage in referrer spam. Referrer spam is a blackhat SEO tactic that completely disregards your website’s data in order to desperately and recklessly promote online content.

Referrer spammers typically target your website’s data for several reasons:

• Referrer spammers want to promote a website and want you to visit the webpage or search for it online through Google search engine results pages.
• Referrer spammers want to boost their rank on Google search engine results pages by creating backlinks. They do this by logging requests into your website’s access log, which is then crawled by Google’s indexing bots and seen as a backlink to the spam site.
