If I were you I'd first research the website that sell views before ordering.

You should integrate your site with cloudfare and actovate DDOS protection. In this way, almost 80% bot traffic could be blocked.

Bots are smart this days. CF bypass is pretty much 3 lines of code.


Op:

find a database of proxy (maxmind) and pay someone to develope a honeypot for the bots.

@AdvertisingGuy has a great tool for that if you have a budget and prefer not to do it manually.

...and where do you buy traffic from?

He cannot sell or offer services on BHW.

He doesn't - at least I don't know about that, I just know and tested the tool he has (free).
The budget is not for the tool, but for the traffic that OP is running - it doesn't make sense to check < 1000 users.

i buy traffic from ads networks and services of everyone on internet

Any particular names?
I work in the field and if that a network I know of - I can suggest how quality their traffic is.

If the offer you run is not 'risky' you could just run FB ads.

Even a free bot shared here has to be vetted.

I currently use innoshow (unique geo) and dailyclicks. I can not track it is real or fake visitors (my offer is very good)
I tried some service on fiver,seoclerk, but i think they sell fake traffic
FB ads locked my account with no reason. i hate fb ads because they dont need us

Oh, I see now. In this case it is easier to stop buying traffic from these ad networks as you will filter out 90%.
You would still have to pay for it and you won't be refunded for that according to network ToS.
90% of your traffic fake users, and the rest 10% untargeted.
You can have a way better conversion rate considering you work with real traffic, not junk.

Not sure what your issues with FB - but it works really well unless your offer is from the risky niche.
You should also look into native ad networks (content discovery) like OutBrain or Taboola - they work really well with the offers.

thank you. i will try these native ads network.
but i really want to expand my real traffic sources
the question is, if i have a way to check all traffic that i buy, it is very good..as this image

certainly, it is a great tool to detect fake traffic

Its always better to make confirmation or enquiries before placing an order

As an option, you can send have something in between the Seller & Buyer where your traffic will be filtered and the only real one will get through.

Traffic seller > Filter > Offer page.

If there is a possibility to have your own page with the offer you can have a filter on your own page and this will prevent bot traffic from loading the site.

At the end of the day, you may want to switch traffic sources to a more legit ones as filtering traffic makes no sense if you still have to pay for it. More to that - there is no need to filter, as fake traffic won't be able to fill out the form.

Filtering is not easy and not always free, if you buy legit traffic only there is no need to filter.

because i want to test a little of traffic before applying all traffic for my real campaign
if i get fake traffic, i will remove that traffic source and try try try to find other traffic source..i also know which seller is fake and avoid them.
if i find a good traffic source, 100% real traffic, i will scale my investment for it.
i hate to burn a lot money for fake traffic

Then you should drop your current ad networks and switch to content discovery networks with proven results.
If something looks too good to be true - it's not true.

You can't remove fake traffic, you can prevent it from loading your page.
There is no need to remove free traffic on the affiliate site - it won't convert anyway.
There is no point to even try to filter - you won't get a refund for bots but you will spend time and/or money on filtering data.

Just go an buy real traffic from a real traffic source like I suggested above and you won't have to worry about bots.
Pop, push, and any other kind of untargeted traffic is a waste of time and money most of the time.

Generally, we block the IP address if it is from data center and not ISP. It is possible that they are behind VPN but it is too risky to do business with.
