hitbot protection

[jo3]

i'm getting sick of being slammed repeatedly with cheaters ... and not having a real definate way of detecting them.

can someone recommend me some solutions?

the approach i am going to take is this:

if clicks_in is high and clicks_productive is low, something is fishy.
if it goes on for more than a couple days, the trade is worthless and cheater or not, they are getting droppped.

from my own research and personal cases most hit bots send high productivity as well.

really, i'm looking for some software or some other sort of hack to detect them quicker before they pillage my traffic.

i guess i better do some research of my own.
