I have Google analytics and in the last few weeks, there has been a huge spike in visitors, mostly from places like India, Russia and then hits from Kansas, Florida and small towns in the US.
I haven't done anything different and can only think there are bots or something.
Why are they appearing? How do I fix this?

We need more info to help you. Are they accessing the same specific resources/pages? Do the traffic routes look suspicious? Are they trying all sorts of URLs that don't exist (banging on doors)? Were you picked up or published somewhere, is their a common referrer to this new traffic? etc. etc.

Everyone is visiting my homepage. Traffic is coming mostly direct, but also yandex and a couple other foreign referrers that don't have any related content.
