Are Bots Inflating Your CTR?

Carl-Reed · 06-14-2010, 06:00 PM

I'm having a bit of trouble with my CTR and I'm sure the culprit is a bot, I recently changed a CPA offer on one page of my blog, five minutes later I logged into my CPA account and noticed I'd had 80 clicks on the new banner...

I wouldn't mind but my website stats tell me I've only had 6 people visit that page...

This has really skewed my stats, I was planning to test a few different offers with a URL rotator plugin but I won't be able to tell what offers are converting the best if this happens again.

Does anybody know of a plugin which tells bots to GTFO?

Thanks
