Some people are not aware of how common log file spam is so I wanted to give you a heads-up. You know how you check your log files 1K times/day since you’re an SEO? Well, take everything you read with a grain of salt - because of log file spam what you see is not always what you get.

Log file spam is basically people making it look like they are sending you a lot of traffic even though they aren’t to make you think they are an important advertiser. Some people will do this to try to sell you advertising later or hope that you send them some traffic in return. The best thing that you can do to fight log file spam is keep an eye on the quality of the traffic you are receiving from referring sources and only invest in advertising mediums that produce a positive ROI.
