There's no shortcut around it, it is important to know how the data is collected and spot any issues to increase accuracy of reports.

There were thousands of visits that hit one page, and stayed for less than 5 seconds. After some digging, I found that all of the bad traffic came from just two sites. They were a sort of 'referral services' that the client had signed up for.I can't really do anything about what he signs up for, but I could block that traffic from being reported so it doesn't pollute my data. Would you recommend that?It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has to deal with this kind of thing.Thanks for the blog Avinash.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has to deal with this kind of thing.

Thanks for the blog Avinash.

Your suggestion of using the Top Landing Pages to drill down further to find the source of “unqualified traffic” was a prime example.Am looking forward for more. Please keep them coming :)Jahangir Excellent post, Avinash.
