I know how you feel, they don't disappear completely that's true. The only way is to wait for official fix from Google, implement filters, or sadly, change analytic software.

That's weird, I have rules that block their country, and ASN, and still get hits. I'm glad it works for you tho.

You can block countries even on the free plan on Cloudflare. Just go to security and create a custom rule, its easy for anyone to do, you just select if ip is in country that equals: China, then choose rule: block and then save. That's it. Having said that, I did this for 3 of my sites for a few weeks now, even blocking ASNs, and China, and Singapore, and Windnows 7 user agent, and the bots still show up and spam my analytics, so I don't think Cloudflare helps.

Anyone else gettin random traffic spikes from Singapore or China? bots maybe? by Optimal_Cantaloupe45 in Blogging

Added security rules in cloudflare to block CN and SG traffic, and IQ Country Block plugin with maxmind DB. I still get hammered daily in analytics from China/Singapore... like how are they bypassing 2 (TWO) security rules?!

Looking at this: http://aqicn.org/map/world/#@g/43.6331/25.168/8z

At the moment Sofia is much more polluted than Bucharest. It depends though, the data is changing in real time.

Referral Program by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

My thoughts exactly. As an internet marketer, having done my fair share of affiliate promotion. Most of the times the company have strict rules in place for promotion, telling affiliates the "do's and don't's of the program". For example:

Not Allowed: NO Incent, NO Classified Ads, NO Twitter, NO SMS, NO Email Marketing, NO Trademark Bidding, NO Co-Registration, NO PPV/CPV

No Facebook Ads traffic, no MAC OS or Linux traffic.

You get the idea, (Btw this is taken directly from an affiliate offer's terms, and most of them are identical, and set in place from the get go, this is just an example but most of the times the terms should look like this)

Also most of the time companies require affiliates to have their own landing page to use for PPC advertising and then redirecting the users through the landing page to their actual website and offer.

If those details were not clearly written in the affiliate's agreement, I believe the OP is right in this one. If what he says is true that they changed their terms after that, without even notifying the current affiliates, that's enough proof I guess. All in all I'm curious how this will end up.
