Welcome to the Q&A Forum

This process was recommended to us and I am having trouble understanding exactly how it works. Does this type of link building directly benefit your site or is it an indirect process? Also, can you be penalized for republishing someone's content on your feed?

Hi Kevin, thanks for your response! How long ago did this happen? Did they ask for info about all of your physical locations? Or just your main office? Thanks in advance!

Is this a real thing? Do they actually do this? Should I be concerned and train my receptionists to know their surroundings?

I would like opinions on Brian Dean's training courses and his advice -- has anyone used it successfully? Is it worth the cost? And useful?

Hi Brett - I was able to go into this filter and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Hi Brett - thank you! Do I have this set up right? I'm just seeing normal sources from what I can tell. https://www.screencast.com/t/t9VW5tSz

Hi Brett,

Thank you for the info. Would all of this still apply if the traffic is considered organic and not referral?

Hi Martijn,

I'm checking now and for some reason it's not reflecting the high # of visitors. All of the queries also seem normal, and it's showing that none have been repeated over 5 times. There are however a ton of different, but pretty normal ones appearing. Any additional insight given that info? Thanks!!

Hi Matt, thanks for the quick answer! All of this traffic is actually showing up under our organic rather than referral

Our homepage typically receives under 20 organic visitors per weekend, but I just checked traffic this morning, and it was at a whopping 821 for just Saturday and Sunday. It's already at 212 this morning.

I'm heavily assuming this is fake traffic as there were about 818 drop offs after visiting the homepage, an 84.41% bounce rate, and an average session duration of 5 seconds. Our typical metrics -- last weekend for example, were: 13 visitors to the homepage, 38% bounce, and an average session duration of 1 minute 26 seconds.

Does anyone know who or what could be causing this? Could it be a competitor using negative SEO of some sort? Thank you in advance.
