You might have noticed the spam traffic to your websites from countries like Nepal, Hong Kong and Indonesia. Sometimes it comes from the United States as well. It is a spam bot traffic that has 100% bounce rate. It spoils the bounce rate and user stay time in your website.

How do you deal with it?

I have my website using cloudflare and I have set it to "I Am Under Attack" mode too, still I am receiving this traffic. I have also tried using plugins like Bulletproof Security, but of no use.

Since I have limited budget for this website what do you suggest that can be a good way to prevent this traffic to spoil my websites bounce rate and users stay time?
 
On CloudFlare Go to security-> Firewall rules

For a free plan you can add 5 Firewall rules.

Add strong anti-spam traffic Firewall rules for the countries which have no useful traffic for your website.
 
Only firewall helps on this. Do not use free wordpress plugins. It blocks real traffic also sometime.
 
You can go on Fiverr (or Upwork or Kwork which are basicaly the same kind of platform, full of indian ITs) and look for "Organic Website Traffic" - usually they make you come Bots on your page - even if they say that their traffic is real - to stay there 1min++ and to finish by clicking in some of your links.

This option is better than firewall cause with 10 bucks you will have like 10-20 thousand visitors in a month who will drastically low your bounce rate - so it does cancel the black hat bounce rate based attack you're being victim of, and in the other side, it gives you a lot of traffic and makes you gain authority in Google. One shot two birds!

Of course you've got to be smart and talk with various gigs sellers. Lot of times, they're employed to attack someone by uping bounce rate, it's very important for you to precise you want to LOW your bounce rate with: irregulary traffic, irregulary clics. I'd add irregulary "good visits" to include something like 5%-27% of visits that will increase your bounce rate in the purpose to appear the most organic possible, but since you've been victim of a bounce rate attack, this problem is solved :) - I know I've got a fucking good ability to see half filled glasses.

Indians are very serving people but they have to be told exactly what you need. And exactly means EXACTLY!



Cheers
 
There are several ways to manage SPAM traffic to your website. The most effective way is to use a combination of methods.

One way to block SPAM traffic is to use a firewall. Firewalls can be configured to stop traffic from specific IP addresses or networks. Another way to block SPAM traffic is by using a content management system (CMS) with built-in security features, such as WordPress or Joomla. Once you have identified and blocked the sources of SPAM traffic, you can focus on managing the traffic that gets through.

Use CAPTCHA codes on forms and other places where user input is required. It will help ensure that only real humans can access your website. Another way to manage SPAM traffic is to moderate user-generated content. For example, if you have a forum or blog on your website, make sure that you require users to register and log in before they can post. Again, it will help to reduce the number of SPAM posts. You can also use Akismet or similar services to filter out SPAM comments and trackbacks automatically.
