u need a few lines of code which disables the right click

put this in the footer code under the main settings and under seo

and put this in the header code....

i found it on here actually..

if u open my site u can test it... just try to copy the text or right click on an image. its all blocked. i was very happy with this advice..https://www.nomadicbackpacker.com

there are hundreds of these fake referrals.

some how.. they set up websites that somehow end up giving u a hit.

all it does it muck up ur stats. they dt actually go to ur site.

i was a victim of this crap.

i have a new site now i am not putting it on insta which is the source of my own spam hits and am not commenting on blog posts when they r still using http

there is a massive google forum post on this.

no one seems to know the solution

Hmmm, that is not good. I just read this in another post which says there is an app that can block them.

i used to block all hits from Paris as thats where mine were coming from but then they were from multiple countries But the server remained the same.. which i didnt manage to block.

i have disabled right click.. u cant copy text. down load photos unless u use a screen shot. or down load the page for off line viewing and i guess these r manual actions as opposed to robots. but i dunno for sure. https://www.nomadicbackpacker.com

Oh...is that a blog feature to disable right click? I guess I did not see that if it is. My guess the spammers are using tunnels from different countries if it was the same server spamming your blog?

I also have google analytics on my site for the last week or so. I think it might filter those hits. I know that the Weebly analytics uses IP and Google analytics uses cookies to track. My website is fairly new and I am still tweaking it.

i hit about 10 pages on ur site for good luck )

my site has been tweaked no end...

embeded code , tips from editortricks, or webnots, then tweaked even more and playing around with html, 1 piece of coding at a time... magins text size and fonts letter spacing line height , all editted on PC and checked on a smart phone to make sure i get a desirable effect.
