Sites like www.trafficfaker.com , domar.ru , etc. are all annoying as they add nonsense to our blog traffic data. While there is no immediate way to block them from showing in our stats page, we can hide them from Google analytics.
Here is a step by step process to do that:
1. Login to google analytics
2. Under the website profiles, click on "Edit"
3. Click on "Add Filter"
a. Enter the name of the filter (ex: "Banned sites")
b. Select "predefined filter"
c. Select "Exclude"
d. Select "Traffic from the domains"
e. Select "That contain"
f. Enter "trafficfaker.com"
g. Select not case sensitive
And click on 'save changes'
