Real Visitors vs Bots
Real Visitors vs Bots
Improving Website Visitor Tracking: Distinguishing High-Quality Visitors from Bots
Identifying human visitors from bot traffic has been a persistent issue on our website.
Our business needed to accurately distinguish between bots and human visitors on our website to collect and store the correct information, improving our analytics and user experiences.
Solution
To address this issue, we made two changes to our app and modified three things.
We have found that bots are easy to identify when they spend only a short amount of time on a page or visit only one page.
We implemented the first change by incorporating a tracker that automatically updates when visitors scroll down the page, thus ensuring that the information is continuously updated as visitors interact with the website.
Secondly, we defined system parameters to set the duration that a visitor must spend on our website for us to be confident that they are not a bot. We determined that a visitor must spend at least three seconds on our website to consider a genuine visitor.
To ensure the effectiveness of these changes, we also increased the system parameter for visitor information. Previously, the information was deleted after 30 days, which was not helpful for our annual evaluations. Therefore, we recommend adjusting the system parameters to store data for 730 days and track only "human behavior."
To determine at the end of each day who is a bot and who is not, we also introduced Scheduled Actions that automatically filter and delete anything identified as a bot. With these changes, we can more accurately track the number of real and high-quality visitors to our website.
Screenshot of Visitor is a Bot (only one page and under 1 Second)
Screenshot of Visitor is an Human (more than one page and 3 seconds)
Screenshot of Scheduled Actions, automatically filter and delete anything identified as a bot and archive human visitors
Screenshot of System Parameters, store data for 730 days
