Domain Investing Stats and Tips

Your Website Has Less Human Traffic Than You Think

December 17, 2013 by Raymond Hackney

By: Raymond Hackney

The Fiscal Times did a story that looked at a report from Incapsula about just how much traffic on the Internet is human traffic, and how much is from non human traffic.

A report released recently by Incapsula, a cloud-based web-security service, found that 61.5 percent of all website traffic now comes from these non-human visitors. If you’re reading this and you’re human, you’re apparently in the minority.

They also produced an illustrated look at the numbers.

Bot Traffic

    The question to ask is, what are bots doing on websites 62% of traffic? Indexing pages? I DON’T think so!
    It’s obviously a hostile takeover of all domain names by giant companies, both in the search vertical and otherwise. 100% of these bots, and robot.txt are hostile, nefarious…
    62% is not an efficient way to index webpages, and I doubt that is their mission. The drop in traffic, sometimes to a trickle, to websites since a few years ago vindicates the assertion that our domain names, and websites have been multiplexed; the question is who are the culprits, and when are they going to be prosecuted for doing it?
    BTW, I posted this on Ricks blog yesterday, did you get it from there without giving me credit for it?

    No,have not read Rick’s blog in the last week and never read the comments.

    This is the biggest deal!
    But domainers will take it lying down as usual. This is a BIG deal. Why should bots invade private property in the guise of indexing pages, and in the process render the private property useless. 62%! This is outrageous. This requires the entire domain registrants revolting.

    This is depressing!
    It’s also why I had to close comments on my blog.

    On the other hand Facebook, LinkedIN etc put a portion of your post in an iframe sans ads and the readers never get on your site and counted.

    @Owens,
    That is why Facebook and twitter are waste of time as far as I’m concerned. There’s no benefit to using them.

    Where did these stats come from though? That’s the big question IMO! I mean what websites did the company use to get this data and how did they get it??

    Knew there was a lot of crap traffic hitting my sites, but that % is rather discouraging. I have been trying over the last year to jump start a legitimate forum, but it is such a pain to go through and filter out all of the spammers and random new accounts that are obviously automated.
