How can I exclude bot clicks from Voluum tracking count?

Hello, I've been using Voluum for campaigns. My visits are far higher than the clicks bing (primarily but other traffic sources also) is reporting. How can I exclude these bot clicks?

It sounds like Voluum is one of the best trackers out there but I know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I've also searched voluum and submitted tickets to them. All suggestions are appreciated!

You could create a separate lander specifically to capture all the bots. Send them there via ISP rules. Not sure about Bing, but works for many traffic sources.

Thanks Maximillion! That's a new option to consider. Are the ISP rules something easy to filter them with or would I have to know all the bot IPs? Voluum says I can block them if I know all of their IPs- not sure how realistic that is. I appreciate your help!

I would create a landing page with this code on it:

<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function redir(){
window.location.replace('[Redirect Link Here]');
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="redir();">
</body>

And have that page redirect to your campaign. So computers with javascript enabled (not bots) will pass on to Voluum.
