How to exclude all hits from known bots and spiders by using the Bot Filtering feature in Google Analytics


 As we all may know, Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Most website owners now use Google analytics to track website traffic. But as you might have observed, over time, there might be a lot of junk traffic hits on your website from bots, spiders and referrals sites.
