Sometimes I have more fake-Google traffic than actual Google traffic...

Thats interesting. I just checked and they are all coming from www google.com and www Facebook.com but from the http versions (not https) so its definitely bot traffic as legit traffic would come from https.
There's all different browsers and different IPs but ALL of them are via the same affiliate code.
Makes it a pain in the ass when trying to compare traffic stats month on month as you never know how much of it is fake
Really dont know why they bother
