Eliminating Bot Traffic from Google Analytics
In my Google Analytics reports, I see traffic that I am almost sure that it comes from bots:
See how the service provider is amazon technologies inc. (from Ashburn, Virginia, apparently Amazon’s AWS bots) and microsoft corporation (from Coffeyville, Kansas).
I want to exclude all traffic from all bots, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft and any other company. I only want to see traffic from real people who visit my site, not from web robots. Thank you.
In Google Analytics View Settings, you'll see an option for "Bot Filtering". Check the box to "Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders". If Google Analytics recognizes those hits from Ashburn and Coffeyville as bots, the data from those bots won't be recorded in your view.
If Google Analytics doesn't recognize them as bots, you could investigate the impact of adding a filter to your view(s) that would exclude traffic from the ISP Organization(s).
