SEO, AdWords, affiliates, advertising, and promotions
Hello,
For the past few months, I have been seeing referrals from some strange sites. In the Shopify sessions by referrer report, these are marked as paid advertising but I'm not sure that is accurate. Any suggestions on where these are coming from and if they are in fact paid advertising? Any insight will be appreciated.
Hi @BeachToBlvd
It looks like you're seeing referral traffic from unusual sites in your Shopify “Sessions by Referrer” report, marked as "paid advertising." If you haven’t set up paid ads on these sites, this traffic might be coming from spam referrals, bots, or other sources misidentified as paid ads. Here are some steps to investigate and address the issue:
It’s likely that these referrals aren’t genuine paid ads but rather bot traffic, spam referrals, or partner sites through ad networks. Filtering these sources out of your analytics or investigating any third-party app connections should help clean up your data.
Let me know if you need more guidance on filtering or blocking this traffic!
If you have other questions, I am willing to answer them more.
Best regards,
Daisy
