Any impact due to bot traffic ?
Posted by on July 27, 2021 at 2:02 pmHi – I am running a blog from almost an year. But recently I am seeing bot traffic coming to my site even though I have not bought any traffic. Will this impact my site SEO and ads network?

Unauthorized bot traffic can impact analytics metrics such as page views, bounce rate, session duration, geolocation of users, and conversions.
Sending massive amounts of bot traffic is a very common way for attackers to launch a DDoS attack. During some types of DDoS attacks, so much attack traffic is directed at a website that the origin server becomes overloaded, and the site becomes slow or altogether unavailable for legitimate users.

They are mostly honest about their identity, but they may or may not be beneficial to your business. Commercial bot traffic will also drain your server resources and impact your website performance. These bots crawl websites to find attractive and relevant content to be featured on aggregator sites and platforms.
