How do I keep my app from tracking bot requests as views
- by trustfundbaby
This is a general question about writing web apps.
I have an application that counts page views of articles as well as a url shortner script that I've installed for a client of mine. The problem is that, whenever bots hit the site, they tend to inflate the page views.
Does anyone have an idea on how to go about eliminating bot views from the view count of these applications?
