What are clicks from all click bots??

Hi,

I was just going through the reports and saw there is one option for "Clicks from all click bots". Can you please someone explain it? As far as I know these would be some sort of automated clicks but I doubt it.

I am not advertising my website and all the traffic is organic. Can someone please shed some light what could be other possible reasons for these bot clicks?

Or - the merchants/affiliate network is not paying for all leads!

Thanks

      Thanks for your response.

      I am not sending any fake traffic. I was not aware about this report - just saw it today. So seems something fishy at network/merchant side or some other reasons...

    1. What affiliate network is it?

    2. What does "organic" mean when you say it? Google SEO / Youtube / Facebook ... ect. ?

    3. Have you contacted your affiliate manager and spoke with him via phone or AIM?

    Where do you see this?

    I'm going to guess this just shows you clicks of Ips from known clickbots

    @ Greedy,

    I am with Engage IQ and all the traffic is through search engines.

    @ChrisBa,

    It is under "Statistics - Clicks from all bots".
