If you search the internet for advice on how to remove bot traffic from your Google Analytics data, the suggested course of action may go something like this:


Check the “Exclude all hits from known bots and spiders” option in the Admin View settings
Identify suspicious traffic (repeat visits, outdated browsers, etc.) and use a filter to exclude the corresponding IP addresses
Use the “Referral Exclusion List” option under Property > Tracking Info.
