Help: Malicious Bots Doing A Lot Of Clicks On Banners

[RodrigoF]

Some days ago, we started getting attacked by malicious bots, who click all of our banners, producing CTR% to be way higher than normal. Google Analytics registers visits with just 1 second duration and highest bounce rate.

 

Our banners are invoked via Javascript.

 

We tested removing the <noscript> part of the code, but nothing happened.

 

Is there anything else we can do to prevent bots from clicking the served banners?

 

Thank you!

In case of you are providing the details about last statistics( malicious CTR%), we can help you with the maintenance script.

Hey @elizarao thanks for the reply.

 

We are having CTR% for banners from about 1,98% to 4% when normal CTR% is around 0,20% and 0,30%

 

Anyway we need to find a way to prevent them from clicking, or from adserver to redirect them to the real advertiser URL
