It's possible a bounce-rate attack manipulate SEO?

[CompraBit]

My site has been visited by unusual users with one second session times. This leaves my analytics data confused.

This week most of the rejections (1s sessions) is coming from the countries to which my site does not support (it is local only). So I thought strange.

Hello,

Is everything on your site properly optimized? For instance, is your site speed scoring well? Often people will leave a site if the page is loading too slow. Research shows it's often after 2 seconds.

Are your landing pages associated with the terms or queries that are bringing users to the site? People will often bounce from a page if it's not related to what they searched. However, it often takes more than a second to realize the page you're on is not related to the search though.

Where's this traffic coming from? Search, direct, social media? If it's direct and only a second, then a bounce, that would strike me as spammy.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You could set up an advanced segment, where the "Time on page" is set to greater than 60 seconds. Note that you could potentially be filtering out legitimate traffic as well by doing it this way.

Thanks
