Once more, Semalt begin trashing website analytics
Once more, Semalt begin trashing the analytics of one of my clients'
NEW websites by repeatedly hitting it with fake referrals form their bots.
These URLs lead you to Semalt.com, and although Semalt claim that their bots are harmless, it's not true. These fake referrals skew your analytics data, and can cause actual damage to your page ranking by increasing your bounce rate etc.
Also, Semalt's five star reviews on trustpilot cannot be trusted. Trustpilot have posted a warning stating that they've detected lots of fake reviews by publishing a warning at the top of Semalt's Trustpilot page (Dated 26-09-2018).
Don't trust a 5-Star rating for Semalt.
EDIT: So you claim that all the negative reviews are false?
Also, how exactly is it my failure if everytime I block one of your spam referral domains you start sending fake referral traffic from another?
Do you dispute that the URL's I give above are showing up in peoples' analytic data, and that they redirect to your website?
EDIT 5th Oct 2018: It's hilarious that you just shout 'Demagogy' rather than try to answer my questions.
Do you claim that all the negative reviews are false?
Are you not using multiple domains to try and get around any blocks people might put in place?
Do you dispute that the URL's I give above are showing up in peoples' analytic data, and that they redirect to your website?
EDIT: 1st February 2021. Semalt have flagged all my reviews again so I have to remove the URLs they were using.
