How to detect bot traffic?

Hi,

I would like to know what's the best way to detect bot traffic in a particular traffic source.

I am running some offers on Pops Mobile and my concern is that some traffic sources have a lot of bot traffic that is not allowing me to get profitable.

I've heard about some kind of hidden URL but that was a while ago.

Thanks

Thank you, I will have a look at those posts. I was not able to find them via the search engine. vBulletin search engine is not really good btw.

Edit: seeing more than 1 visit (up to 8) per IP to the landers is a symptom of bot traffic, right?

@ironbull - not necessarily but it's certainly suspicious.
