Spam, Bots and visit count

In these days the statistics of FCHouse are a mess! It’s more than a week when the number of daily visitors has risen up to the sky, at least ths is what my little plugin told me, but there are some strange point in this.

From a hundred unique daily visitors, with two pages visited per visitor, the site has moved to receive more than four hundreds unique visitors per day, but the medim number of visited pages dropped to 1.2. Numbers doesn’t lies: the number of spammers and bots have risen incredibly in the last period. Google Analytics shows me 40 unique visitors a day, not the 400 I can see from the plugin I’ve installed.

The number of spam that my Wordpress catches has reached an impressive level of more than 50 per day. I’m a little bit tired of these numbers, this blog is snowed under fake requests. I think I will have to implement a new .htaccess to limit the fake browsers, bot, spam sender and so on, but my time is very limited in these days :(
