    Hello!

    My page receives many visits from bots that stay for 0-20 seconds and leave. It is a new page and in recent weeks I have gone from having quality visits (20 users) to having almost 100 with interaction rates of 20 seconds. This is a content blog.

    When I look in Analytics I see that the routes these intruders follow do not include the administration pages. They remain blog posts only.

    Can the Blackhole for Bad Bots plugin help me stop receiving these visits? They mess up my metrics a lot and I suppose the SEO of my page as well.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Glad to help:

    “Can the Blackhole for Bad Bots plugin help me stop receiving these visits?”

    Yes, as long as your site is not running any cache plugins. It should definitely help stop or slow down bad bots.

    Also make sure to read thru the Installation docs for more details on what the plugin does, how it works, and more:
