Bad Bots

Can I stop them from clicking on ads?

[riverstyx]

I have a new site on which I installed WordPress. The only traffic the site gets is from the feed bots and some of them click on every affiliate ad daily, sometimes twice, even though I use rel="nofollow" on the links. Is there any way to stop them without banning them entirely?

if you are running your website on appache, you can use .htaccess to stop them forever or use robots.txt for the sanme.

thanks,

You could use javascript to control the click instead of the href tag, e.g:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="document.location='nextpage.htm'">bots don't go here</a>
