Like most people I click vampirestat and even search my blog spot in their search box, then i do some research on the internet about vampirestat and turn its dangerous, what should I do? Should I erase my blogsite and account as it has more views of vampirestat. I tried clearing my cache and history so there are no more links in my computer then scanned my computer thoroughly, is this enough?

It's not news to me, but then I spent many a night pouring over the site log examining hits and figuring out what they meant. I could write a book about spammers, but it's sufficient for me to warn unsuspecting users not to play along with their silly games. They're the dark side of SEO, the bottom feeders trying to generate artificial buzz.<br /><br />I wouldn't hold your breath waiting on Google to do anything.

AdSense is how Google makes money off Blogger, and if they can't get AdSense working right, then what are the odds they can teach Blogger to block unwanted spambots, a zero-profit innovation. I know how to block unwanted spambots, but the method requires having a paid, hosted account with ftp access. I have a very lengthy .htaccess file which I share with the world on this blog, but it will not work on Blogger because Blogger doesn't allow ftp access or .htaccess or anything of the sort.igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087999668155540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4857474508902511130.post-84051940706041385742013-08-05T17:55:05.664-07:002013-08-05T17:55:05.664-07:00I have followed this post because I have had MANY ...I have followed this post because I have had MANY page views from vampirestat, film hill, etc. In the interest of maintaining integrity in my blogs (and I also use Blogger), I will continue to look for updates to this post. Do you anticipate any future changes to Blogger that may allow us to block unwanted spambot page views? Yours is the only info I have found that is relevant to the problems I've experienced.

With its help I derived the following, which allows me an impartial understanding of your comment:<br /><br />"Sorry to write in Russian (I do not know English), but judging by your name, you also Russian?<br /><br />I would like to add that in addition to vampirestat, there are sites like filmhill, yadro ru, flf-cours - under different names, but they are one and the same sites, there is nothing different except the hands, something which draws audiotext and English. These sites hit my site every day, I would be able to ignore them, but all visitors disappeared. The survey statistics show that the requests go to Yandex with the same text. References to them, I did not place, but they came from somewhere (I have another blog in French, I banned Yandex indexing, but it was useless). If you have opened an account in Google and created a website - intruders visit, while normal users and you cannot continue.<br />Such a bleak picture emerged after the first of January and after the known laws enacted in Russia. From this I conclude that the sites are fiscal in nature and to deal with them is useless."<br /><br />Yes, state actors such as Russia and China and other governments are behind many bad bots and IP addresses today. States such as Russia may be behind the sites you mention. The culprit is not always some greedy black hat hacker. Sometimes the spy or law enforcement agencies have an agenda of their own that may not be obvious to outsiders. <br /><br />Many in our world have an intense desire to control others, to have power over others. Knowledge is a form of power, and networks may be abused to obtain knowledge.<br /><br />That is why the focus upon security is important. I have made bad bots my particular study. I am able to deal with bad bots in an effective manner.<br /><br />On blogger, bad bots are able to play havoc with the statistics, but they have not compromised site security, because Google keeps things secure.igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087999668155540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4857474508902511130.post-57158989228681067042013-05-26T00:19:55.616-07:002013-05-26T00:19:55.616-07:00Извините, что пишу по русски(не знаю английского),...Извините, что пишу по русски(не знаю английского), но судя по вашему имени вы тоже русский?<br />Хотела бы дополнить, что вдобавок к vampirestat есть еще такой сайт как filmhill, yadro ru , flf-cours - под разными названиями это один и тот же сайт, в нем нет ничего кроме руки, что то рисующей и английского аудиотекста. При этом посещения с этого сайта фиксируются у меня на сайте ежедневно, я бы могла их игнорировать, но при этом исчезли все посетители, обзор статистики показывает,что запросы идути с яндекса с одним и тем же текстом. Ссылки на них я не размещала, но они откуда то появились(у меня еще один блог на французском языке, я запретила индексацию яндексом , но это оказалось бесполезно). Если вы открыли аккаунт в гугл и создали сайт - все, ждите незваных гостей, при этом нормальных посетителей вы можете так и не должаться.<br />Такая унылая картина появилась после первого января и после известных законов, принятых в россии. Из этого я делаю вывод, что сайты носят фискальный характер и бороться с ними бесполезно.
