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.

Is website-stealer-warning-alert.hdmoviecams.com referrer spam harmful?

Website-stealer-warning-alert.hdmoviecams.com referral spam is not essentially harmful to your website and it will not affect your rank in Google Search Results Pages; However, website-stealer-warning-alert.hdmoviecams.com referrer spam can ruin the data collected in your Google Analytics reports if you do not block it from targeting your account. For example, if website-stealer-warning-alert.hdmoviecams.com referrals appear to land on a single webpage on your website and leave from the same website it 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.
