Netcore CE: Bots Activity
Overview
Netcore CE integrates the IAB Bot List to ensure accurate tracking and analytics. The bot list filters out bot traffic by matching user agents from incoming web traffic. Events identified as bot-driven are excluded automatically and do not enter the client panel. You can view the error logs to validate which events were dropped due to bot activity.
These logs indicate whether an event was dropped due to bot activity or other reasons, helping you distinguish between genuine and bot-driven events.
Use Case
Capturing and filtering bot activity ensures that your analytics on the dashboard reflect real user behavior.
For example, if bots are not filtered, they can inflate page views, clicks, or conversion metrics, leading to inaccurate campaign performance insights and misinformed business decisions.
By identifying and excluding bots, you maintain clean data for better targeting, optimization, and ROI measurement.
