RE: Direct traffic is up 2100% (due to a bot/crawler I believe)
Follow up: I have fixed this now. It was a monitoring tool by Digicure, where I have signed up to be a beta tester. Their platform checks the website like a normal visitor from servers around the world (in my test case it is Denmark and California) and thereby it looked like normal direct traffic in my data. I excluded their stated server IP-addresses in my Google Analytics filters and that helped. Thanks again guys for the help.

Direct traffic is up 2100% (due to a bot/crawler I believe)
Hi,
The direct traffic to website www.webgain.dk has increased by over 2100% recently. I can see that most of it is from US (my target audience is in Denmark and the website is in danish).
What can I do about this? All this traffic gives my website a bounce rate of 99.91% for direct traffic. I believe it is some sort of bot/crawler.
