I was checking my Google Analytics Realtime Overview and I found the following.
Is it harmful to my site? Should I take any precautions?
UPDATE December 13th 2016: The person behind this is back again, this time sending spam as a language with a similar message:
Vitaly rules google ☆*:｡゜ﾟ･ヽ(^ᴗ^)ﾉ･゜ﾟ｡:*☆
¯_(ツ)_/¯(ಠ益ಠ)(ಥ‿ಥ)(ʘ‿ʘ)ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉʕ•̫͡•ʔᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ(=^ ^=)oO
The method in the original answer was only for keyword spam. For a more comprehensive solution, the following guide will help prevent this and any other type of spam in Google Analytics.
Ultimate Guide to Getting Rid of the Spam and Other Junk Traffic in Google Analytics
This is Spam. Vitaly is the name behind some of the last Referrer Spam hitting Google Analytics. But this time is using a different method with keywords.
This type of spam never accesses your site so you don't have to worry about security on your site. The only thing you should do is stop it with filters in GA to keep clean your stats.
Go to Admin tab in Google Analytics
Select the View you want to filter > Filter > New Filter
In Filter Type choose Custom Filter > Exclude Filter
Field: Campaign Term
Filter Pattern: Enter Vitaly rules google
And here you can find information about this specific issue

If you need to how how to get rid of this garbage, it is as simple as creating a filter in Google Analytics. Many people have mentioned editing the htaccess file, but I haven't found a way to do it like that yet.
Just create a custom exclusion filter. If you need the exact specifics, check out this post on how to remove vitaly rules google

This question already has an answer here:
How do I implement a write rate limit in Cloud Firestore security rules?
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
Because I didn't see any other posts that specifically asked this question phrased in this way, I thought I might ask.
An example of "too many requests" might be a malicious user altering the client-side code so that it creates a new user (stored in Firecloud) as frequently as possible.
Like Frank van Puffelen pointed out, this has already been answered and is found here: How do I implement a write rate limit in Cloud Firestore security rules?
The keywords used in this post are different than the one used in the post linked above, so I feel like it's worth it to keep this post around just in case someone gets here via a Google search using these keywords.
like in the title, is it possible to create an article using current Linkedin API?
I am not interested in sharing an article but posting a new one. I found some questions regarding that from last year and based on answers it wasn’t possible back then. Is it still a case? I couldn’t find this in Linkedin documentation.
Also additional question, did the limit for the amount of characters inside a post (it is possible to create a post via API) change recently? Currently it is set to 1300 characters but I am pretty sure that a few weeks ago we were able to create a longer post.
First off, sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this type of question. If it is, please feel free to put me straight.
Is there a way to track a single bit of dynamic data using google analytics.
EG. I've got a used car website that dynamically pulls vehicle details. Although not part of the URL variables, one of those bits of information is the vehicle registration. Can I somehow include that in the analytics code so it's tracked on their stats.
Sorry if this is a quite broad question.
Thanks.
Yes, that is what event tracking is for: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide

I am interested in obtaining data from different reddit subreddits. Does anyone know if there is a reddit/other api similar like twitter does to crawl all the pages?
Yes, reddit has an API that can be used for a variety of purposes such as data collection, automatic commenting bots, or even to assist in subreddit moderation.
There are a few places to discover information on reddit's API:
github reddit wiki -- provides the overview and rules for using reddit's API (follow the rules)
automatically generated API docs -- provides information on the requests needed to access most of the API endpoints
/r/redditdev -- the reddit community dedicated to answering questions both about reddit's source code and about reddit's API
If there is a particular programming language you are already familiar with, you should check out the existing set of API wrappers for various languages. Despite my bias (I am the package maintainer) I am quite certain PRAW, for python, has support for the largest number of reddit API features.
Note that if you are only reading data, and not interested into posting back to reddit, you can get quite a bit of data from the json feeds associated with each subreddit. With this method, you don't need to worry about an API at all -- you simply request the relevant json file and parse it in your language of choice.
Here's an example URL that will return a json object containing the hot posts from the Justrolledintotheshop subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/top.json
In place of top, you can use hot, new, or controversial. When using top, you can add ?t=day to the end of the url to specify the top post for the day. Other valid values are hour, day, week, month, year, or all.
To parse JSON data from reddit with ajax/javascript.
Reddit has CORS enabled for GET requests.
Here as example, parse the last videos from reddit in JSON format:
xhr = new XMLHttpRequest
xhr.open("GET","https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/.json",true)
xhr.send(null)
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if(this.status === 200) {
console.log(JSON.parse(xhr.responseText))
}
}

This isn't a typical question but it is web related and pertaining to a clients website. I've done some research on it and wanted to check and see if anyone on here is had issues like this.
#1: /Fanuc-servo-motor-repair/?wtx=Y
#3: /?wtx=Y
#26: /yaskawa/?wtx=Y
As you can see, these urls all end with ?wtx=Y. Does anyone know what could be causing this? It's kind of hard to explain to a client when I can't figure out where it's coming from myself. Would it be pertaining to an account like Google AdWords or AdCenter(Bing/Yahoo)?
Are they hosted on Webvanta? - wtx is their taxonomy param.
See: http://support.webvanta.com/support_article/615767
(Currently not considered on-topic for stack overflow, webmasters is probably the best place for this - Google Analytics questions are not really well-placed in either place - there's a certain level of programming skill required to get moderately complicated GA installations working correctly, but the interpretation of the reports isn't on-topic for Stack Overflow - cross-Stack Exchange tags would probably be the right answer).
Please note although whilst this answer is not addressing where the parameters are coming from it might be of use.
In the profile setup admin panel you can set Analytics to ignore certain parameters. This would stop this 'wtx' parameter appearing in your reporting.
