Default Re: Analytics spam

Yes, I ran a test with referrer spamming a couple of years ago - too high risk, too little return. I'm told it can work wonders by some people, but it's not an area I really want to invest time in.

Still, it underlines how useless traffic is as a metric - the only important stats are conversions and conversion rates. Junk traffic is easy - converting traffic is the challenge.
