What Is Bot Traffic?
Bot traffic refers to non-human visitors—automated programs or scripts—that load webpages, click links, or fill out forms. Some bots are legitimate (like search engine crawlers), but in digital marketing, most are used to commit fraud.
If you're paying for traffic, and bots are hitting your site, you're paying for nothing.
Why It’s Hard to Spot Bots Today
Most marketers expect bots to look robotic—obvious, fast-moving, or repetitive. But today’s ad fraud bots are engineered to mimic real human behavior. They:
- Scroll at realistic speeds
- Click on buttons and CTAs
- Fill out lead forms with valid-looking data
- Trigger pixels and retargeting sequences
Basic tools like Google Analytics often can’t detect the difference. That means you could be optimizing campaigns, allocating budget, or reporting ROI based on completely fake engagement.
Signs Your Traffic Might Be Bots, Not Humans
Here are a few common indicators of hidden bot traffic:
- Spike in traffic with no proportional conversions
- High bounce rates from specific sources or devices
- Form fills that never respond to sales outreach
- Sessions that all behave the same way, down to cursor movement
- Leads that fail validation checks or flag as spam
These signals are easy to miss unless you're actively monitoring for them. And most bots are getting better at hiding.
How Anura Differentiates Real Visitors from Bots
At Anura, we don’t rely on surface metrics. We verify traffic using our proprietary algorithm built from fraud signals collected from over 20 years. This allows us to detect and eliminate bot traffic in real time—without blocking real human visitors or damaging your conversion rates.
There are no false positives. No guessing games. Just accurate fraud detection.
Why It Matters to Your Campaigns
If bots are contaminating your ad traffic, they’re also contaminating your:
- Attribution models
- Lead scoring
- Budget planning
- Retargeting lists
- Sales pipelines
Bot traffic creates the illusion of performance while quietly undermining your results.
You can’t improve what you can’t trust. Anura ensures your campaigns are measured by real performance—not fake visitors.
