the second part is done within Google Analytics. * I have a feeling this will be a ghost referrer i.e. it cannot be blocked server side as the bot doesn’t actually visit the site like SEMalt does. * If you setup the second part within Analytics this will stop raank checker showing. * Let me know if it doesn’t and I will take a look. * Thanks * Ricky * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Bot Block - Stop Spam Referrals in Google Analytics] This plugin is spitting out error 'Warning: strpos(): Empty needle in /home/'](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-is-spitting-out-error-warning-strpos-empty-needle-in-home/) * Plugin Author [Ricky Dawn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thiswebguy/) * (@thiswebguy) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-is-spitting-out-error-warning-strpos-empty-needle-in-home/#post-8029952) * This issue has been fixed now – out of interest do you use the same plugin on all three sites?
