How Do You Avoid Bot Traffic on Pop Ads?

I’ve been buying pops for affiliate offers, but sometimes traffic looks suspicious—high clicks, low conversions. What strategies do you use to filter bots or low-quality traffic without wasting budget?

just use a good tracker like voluum to block bad ip ranges and bots.

I use my own developed "bot filter" which works excellent. When I buy traffic from different sites then I can see "Windows 10 on 2GB RAM + 2 Core CPU" which means visitor sent from bot installed at vps. My tool checks around 25+ different parameters and then cross-parameter checks and redirect valid visitor to destination url in less than a second.

When I try new source then I monitor each and every visit and then start blocking publishers or websites according to data at my tool. (publisher_id + website_id). And this stop wasting my budget.

This is my method to fight against bot traffic and saving money.

Here are real time stats from my tool which can help you to understand bot traffic:

Memory
0 = 371 = 100% bot
1 = 86 = 100% bot
2 = 667 = 100% bot
4 = 1957 (medium risk)

CPU
2 core = 368 = 100% bot
4 core = 1500 (medium risk)

So "100% bot" visitor are simply wasted immediately and clean visitors are redirected to destination url.

Run everything through a tracker like Voluum, blacklist any zone with clicks but zero conversions after a small spend cap, and whitelist only the zones that convert.
