The Ghost Referrer Spamis a new type of spam that affects many of us presenting names sites for adults as:

  • depositfiles-porn.ga
  • youporn-forum.ga
  • pornhub-forum.ga
  • generalporn.org
  • rapidgator-porn.ga
  • meendo-free-traffic.ga
  • amanda-porn.ga
  • torture.ml
  • pornhub-forum.uni.me
  • ouporn-forum.uni.me

These references appear in Google Analytics in order to lead us to any forum with more spam and ads.

 

How to keep clean Google Analytics?

  7. Finally click on Save.

Regular expression:
