Re: Bot Vs Human

Typically, the ad server sends you an email saying "blah suspicious activity blah" and doesn't pay you for traffic.

There's no proof involved. And usually the ad comes from a bot - which is entertaining, because it means the entire process of serving, viewing, monetising, and then not paying for monetised traffic is automated.
