Fake Traffic - Detection

Sven

We had a discussion about Fake Traffic some time back (don't remember the thread).

Here is something to put some spice into this discussion...

@sven thanks for the link. the thread was active a few months back if I remember correctly. I have been watching the market for a tool to be released. there are a few on the market, but personally, I wouldn't take that risk right now. My interest in these potential bots isn't to fraudulently click ads, but rather I am curious whether an increase in traffic from them would increase a site's organic rankings. Haven't seen any evidence of that yet.
