these link go to my site why
I just landed here because i saw 5 people browsing my site coming from here, blackhatworld.
Source was this thread.
I don't understand the situation nor what some russian hacker has to do with 5 people on this domain coming to my site on the topic of "hair loss".
Is there a link to my site on this page?
Can someone clarify what needs to be done on my end if anything?
A Russian spammer is spamming this page to your GA account with fake referral traffic that does not actually land on your server. He has done it with other legitimate websites before after they have published content about him (Example: vice.com - although it seems that they were aware it would happen beforehand and did it consciously). He usually does this to promote his own search engine. The spam will not harm your website at all but you might want to block it in GA if you would like to have an understanding of your website's actual data.
I'm not trying to shamelessly promote a website but you can read more about it with instructions here: botcrawl com/blackhatworld-com-referral-spam/
If you want to block the fake referral traffic in GA I recommend you block the referral path or use a language filter. Don't block blackhatworld.com altogether.
That only works for bots and spiders. Unless you're speaking of user-made filters.If you enable google analytic's built in spam filter it'll automatically disregard any "visits" originating from this so that it's not tainting your analytics data.
Look at this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/blackhat-world-referral-spam.899661/
To be honest I would be more worried about my rankings - having a link to my site coming from "black hat world". We learned the hard way how heavy Google penalizes when you have any association with "black hat" sites.
