Hi all,
I am currently building a store targeting audience in the UK. It has yet to be published and is protected with password.
Throughout building the website, I have noticed an unusual traffic from the United State, up to 70% from lowa.
I have only started sharing my website link few days ago. Has anyone encounter something similar?
Thanks in advance!
John

Hi @Cycc,
Here what I'd do in this case:
Using these 02 approaches can help you determine whether your site got hit by bot or not - if not, may be your content simply resonates better with audience from Iowa 🙂
Bot traffic is generally harmless, you just need to exclude it from your GA report so that you can have the most accurate view of your website performance - there are lots of resources and tutorials on how to exclude bot traffic on GA so it should not be a major problem.
Let me know if my answer is of help with a thumb up or like 😄

Hey John,
Please consider the locations that you have shared the link to your site.
Also, I will need more context to help you troubleshoot this.
- Are the visitors performing any actions on your site?
- Are the visitors clumped together at a particular time(s) or evenly distributed throughout the day/week/month?
- Where have you shared the link to your site?
- Have you considered the possibility of Google indexing your site and people finding it on Google?
Let me know how I can help you further, looking fwd to your reply.
This is an accepted solution.
