Understand bot activity

Read automated visits separately from your audience.

Klickly classifies automated requests for analytics. For the same link and settings, the public HTML is identical for bots and people. It includes the initial cards and destination data.

  1. 1

    Open Overview

    Expand More metrics and bot activity to see the automated traffic breakdown.

  2. 2

    Inspect a link

    Open Links and choose Analytics to review that link’s activity. Bot totals are not audience clicks or sales.

  3. 3

    Configure the visitor journey

    Browser opening behavior and age confirmation are configured in the editor. An adult card has no navigable destination before the required confirmation, but this is not a separate hidden page for crawlers.

What this does not promise

Bot classification does not guarantee platform approval, prevent restrictions or hide a destination from a platform.
