I would generally recommend just comparing revenue figures.
It's hard to strike a balance. Some of our users want us to provide raw revenue figures (including ALL bots, etc etc). Other users want us to provide the most filtered visitors #s we can. Generally speaking we lean towards the filtered side, but we're not too aggressive. Otherwise you'll end up with a lot of clicks with 0 visitors.
Any domains in particular you see this RPM difference (last few weeks), please let me know via PM and I'll look into it and see if there's something that clearly sticks out that we can add as a filter profile.
I have Google Analytics set up and I see tons of bot traffic. I worry that these bots are clicking on ads and trashing domain names. I wish there was a way to permanently ban these guys. I've got one scanning my names right now as I type this -- hitting my names 4-5 times each per day, from "ovh hosting inc".
I'd like to see bots weeded out OR have the ability to toggle bot traffic on or off. Here is what I see for the first 1/2 of 2017 on my account: 24,195 sessions of which 26% are what I believe to be the major bot traffic (37%) if I include this "not set" which i am still trying to figure out what it is.
I am learning about this each day so I may be wrong but from what I have been able to find out , much of what is below is bot traffic and I wouldnt mind being able to toggle that traffic on/off to see the different OR an extra column as @Jurgen Wolf has suggested.

Hello,
For some time now we have been proactively removing any malware or scareware related ads found on our Tier2 feed.
If you've come across any these malware/scareware ads recently, please open a support ticket or PM me and we will look into this matter immediately.
Thank you.
I've been hesitant of parking companies for this reason. I can't stand having my screen hijacked when going to a domain. I can only imagine what a potential buyer thinks when they visit a domain they're thinking about buying and see's such malware / survey / scareware. I imagine it makes them think the domain has a bad history, thus losing a buyer for good.
I've been running a small test with Bodis for the last 30 days (maybe 50 - 100 domains) through Above.com, and when I visited one of my parked domains, I was pissed to have my browser hijacked with scareware. I immediately changed my NameServers away from Bodis/Above fearing other domains were parked the same way.
I tried to replicate the scareware via link history (http://failure-error-jqdnx0p.stream...343344345346347348349350351352353354355356357), though I was denied see below and notice how long the URL is??.

The second time I checked the domain, I was redirected to a survey.

Turn off zero click. That should eliminate these types of ads from sneaking in.
Are you certain that your domain name was pointing to Bodis via Above at the time of this occurrence?
The best variant for all users - is to provide the additional column "Bot Visits"...
And to not include them when calculating RPM and CTR...
Thanks! I just heard of this term by @biggie in NP chat... This should alleviate my future concerns.
I found the option. Bodis.com > My Account > Account Settings > Parking Settings

Thanks for the quick response! I'll PM you account details. As mentioned below, this could be user error.
I am certain the domain (nameservers) was pointed to Above.com. Bodis is the only parking company I have affiliated with Above.com.

However, upon further investigation, I am unsure if I ever added my GoDaddy domains to my Bodis / Above.com account. Yesterday, I changed my NS for domains registered at GoDaddy. Today, none of my GD domains show up in my Bodis/Above account (not sure if they ever did) So it's possible that (Yes) I changed the NS but (No) I didn't add them to my Bodis/Above account. Would this cause/allow Above.com to point the domain anywhere they see fit?
rememebr to uncheck maximizer box at above.com
else it randomly displays zero click ads instead of taking you to bodis.. and it does so more often than not. gl
Sale Form
Please make MessageBox as mandatory... and minimum 10 chars...
Thanks.
This is how it works by default at ParkingCrew...
To reduce the volume of idiotic offers...
p.s. Via Bodis I receive even $0 offers (and without any message)...
Hello, I can't seem to stay logged in on bodis for more than 30secs, I keep getting logged out.
How July performs for you with Bodis?
The worst month for me this year...
But I don't see any negative changes at ParkingCrew... stable as it was...
Hi Bodis team,
I config some my free domains to Bodis parking service, but they redirect to mydomain .cf/?z (other domains are .tk domains). It not accept free domains to parking?
