Tracking Pretty Link clicks, Same IP Address has hundreds of clicks? (Wordpress site)
- SEO |
I am working on a few Wordpress sites for Amazon affiliate marketing, and I am using Pretty Link (free version) for most of my outbound links, and it has a reporting feature that shows when and who clicks those Pretty Links.
It shows the IP Address that is clicking on these links, and there is a number in parenthesis next to the IP Address, which I believe indicates how many "clicks" were made by that IP address.
MY QUESTION IS: A couple IP Addresses have "hundreds" of clicks on my links over several days. One of them looks like its clicking my pretty links several times, every day!
* Also, I have the "nofollow" attribute included on all my links, so I thought that would mean "robots" would not follow those links.
What is this?! It obviously can't be valid human links. What's the best way to tell them to go away and stop messing up my stats?
The main culprit on one of my sites is 174.122.50.58 (433) .
In case anyone knows this to be a particular "robot"?
Thanks for any ideas and help!
