Top Robot Traffic on Publisher Websites (2024)
The predominant force behind internet traffic comprises bots rather than human users. These automated agents, ranging from search engine crawlers to content aggregators, play a pivotal role in data retrieval, analysis, and dissemination across the digital landscape.
Their pervasive presence underscores the intricate interplay between technology and information dissemination in the modern era, shaping the online experience for users worldwide.
Two primary categories of bots characterize web traffic: declared and undeclared. Declared bots openly identify with reputable brands through their user agent strings, while undeclared ones operate anonymously. Notably, a substantial proportion of declared bots originates from established Internet Data Centers (IDCs), underscoring their significant role in shaping online traffic dynamics.
