In Google Analytics I found a page which I did not create.
The full url is http://youngzy.com/h/3668354.html.
When I open it, it looks like the latest posts recently.
But who make it?
Does it generate automatically ?
Why, Where and How?
Any experience? Thanks.
I'm using WordPress.org
I had the same issue and found this to be annoying referral spam designed to get you to visit their website. I filtered my report by “Hostname” and found all the visits are from one of 5 domains which all redirect to a website with a “free" SEO report: https://semalt.com/?ref=seocheckupx. Just more obnoxious spam tactic by an unreputable SEO firm - Semalt.
Here's a good article about referral spam from Semalt and how to filter them out of your analytics: https://www.kymodo.com.au/what-is-semalt-doing-on-your-website/

I created a hugo ssg blog for my mother which is hosted on netlify. The intent of blog was just to keep her busy during pandemic, therefore, it's just lists of articles. No like/dislike, no comments, no other functionalities. Only JS included is Google and Bing Analytics.
I was going through analytics and found random fbclid urls in page visits. After some research I followed advice from this stackoverflow page and stopped worrying. After few months, I see bots visit on /fblogin.htm. Remember,I have not added anything related to FB on the site. There is no fblogin.htm on the site, There is no sharing of blog post on fb. I have no idea why bots from facebook would look for a non-existent page on the site. Is it because of <meta og:...> tags in head? Can someone explain to me what is happening here and should I be worried about it? I occasionally get random spikes of 5-15 visits from china, turkey, finland or some other random country via these fb bots. Should I be concerned?
fblogin.htm should be explored, however fbclid is a parameter that Facebook hangs when you click on a post in Facebook that leads to your site.
So if the link to a page of your site is on Facebook (i.e. in a post) and someone has clicked on it, you will find that parameter in Google Analytics append to the landing page.
IMHO you need to be precise about 'few family members' and 'we tell them on phone' - are you sure how this was shared between them? is anyone Whatsup user or was this shared via Xiaomi or other China phone ? Also if the blog is not password protected those Facebook variables could just be used by the bots to mimic human behaviour
The website is a wordpress site and it was been attacked by xss attack. Ive already installed wordfence and malcare to scan and remove the malicious code and files. but still the google search results are show spam links under the main result. I most of the pages direct to 404 webpages and i was told the google bot will remove it automatically but the issue still remains after 4 days. if any expert regarding this have any solutions and advice i would much appreciate.
You can try resubmitting you sitemap to Google in the Search Console.
Otherwise, similiarly try using the Google Removals tool to temporarily these links, hopefully the will be cleared from the search results by the the time the links are restored.

I've been using google analytics for my website for awhile now and haven't had any problems. Just today though I checked the all pages tab under Behavior->Site Content and found something very strange. A bunch of pages that aren't on in my websites directory are now appearing there and saying they have traffic (albeit very little). Here's a link to an image of the pages: http://imgur.com/keXaQzD
I've verified that non of these pages exist on my live server or in the directory on my local machine. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Or how I can get rid of these pages on my website? I've searched around on google but have had no luck figuring out whats going on.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Timothy it looks like you are just seeing Referral/Referrer Spam.
Here are a couple of my favorite links on the subject:

4 things you must know about Spam in Google Analytics
Its a good idea to have a Raw View with no filters, but then also a filtered view with a include:yourdomainname.com added, to filter out any possible hits sent by people copying your GA tracking code.
Two days ago i published a new article on my website, Racebooking.net, and taking a look at Google Analytics, i found something amazing!!
I had 10 times more visitors than average on these 3 days. This means somebody shared my article on some website.
What i would love to know is:
On which website the article was shared. For instance, a user sees
the link to my article posted to somewebsite.com -> the user clicks on the link -> the user
arrives on my website. This way Google Analytics should be able to
tell me that one user came from somewebsite.com, right?
If possible, the exact page on which
the link was shared. For example, if it was shared on a forum, i
wanna go to that page in order to "spy" comments and know what people think about my
article
Is Google Analytics capable to do it? If not, how can i get what i want?
I really need to know these info to improve my website!
Thanks guys
You should be able to go to Acquisition > All Referrals to see an overview the websites that referred traffic to your site. Once you find a site you'd like to see more info on, click that site and you can see the exact page from which the referral came from.
Just wondered if there is a known issue with GA having trouble tracking a site which has a Wordpress directory?
It seems to be able to track all of my other pages on the site, but we have a /news/ directory which is powered by Wordpress and it doesn't pick this up at all. It is obviously an issue with the fact that this directory is a Wordpress blog, but there must be a way to track it with all of the other pages.
Aaahhh... Sounds like the google analytics tracking code is present on your main site pages, but is not included in the wordpress template that's applied to that sub-section of your site.
The GA tracking code must be visible to google on every page you want to have tracked.
Try 'View Source' in your browser, and check wether the analytics tracking code is present.
If not, you could hard-code the GA tracking code in, or use one of the free WordPress Plugins to do it for you, like 'Google Analytics':

Hope this helps - post back if you're still having problems!

It may not be related, but did you check if your blog is indexable? Under Settings -> Privacy you can check if its enabled.
Another option is to install a google analytics plugin for the blog. If you enter the same credentials from your already-in-use GA it should be combined. I'm using this one on my blog and its working.
