Log into GA and click on Acquisition > All Traffic > Referrals in the left hand sidebar.
Step 1: Clean Out Existing Spam
To remove spam from your existing GA reports, you can create a Custom Segment.
Go to Acquisition > All Traffic > Channels.
Step 2: Add Filters to Block Out Referral Spam
Step 3: Block Common Spam Referrers
Step 4: Block Third Party Traffic
All it takes is a few minutes to set up these filters and you’ll successfully eliminate 99% of spam. And, if you spend a few more minutes every month updating your filters, you’ll be even better off.
