How Can You Stop Bot Traffic for Good?

Understanding the Bot Problem

Bot traffic is a silent killer for digital campaigns, bleeding budgets, corrupting data, and reducing ROI. Bots can perform click fraud, manipulate analytics, and drain resources without ever being detected. Stopping bot traffic for good requires more than basic IP-based detection; it needs a solution that goes deeper, analyzes behavior, and identifies fraud with near-perfect accuracy.

Why Traditional Methods Fail

The standard approach to stopping bot traffic typically involves IP blacklisting, CAPTCHAs, or JavaScript-based verifications. While these methods might catch basic bots, they fall short with Sophisticated Invalid Traffic (SIVT)—the advanced bots that mimic human behavior, using residential proxies and rotating IPs to avoid detection.

Many fraud detection platforms still rely on outdated detection methods, resulting in:

• Over-blocking of legitimate visitors — costing you real customers.
• Under-detection of sophisticated bots — letting fake traffic slip through unnoticed.

Many competitors use IP-based and browser fingerprinting methods, but these are limited to surface-level detection. Anura, on the other hand, is built differently.
