Abstract

High conversion rate content can be displayed with primary content from one or more publishers in order to determine whether the content is being displayed to human users or provided to automated processes such as robots. Convertible content such as advertising will generally result in conversions or other actions within an expected range of occurrences. Convertible content performing significantly below the range can be indicative of robotic traffic. Such determinations can be difficult for publishers with low volume traffic, however, as there may not be sufficient data to make an accurate determination. For such publishers, or users viewing content for such publishers, high conversion rate content can be displayed that will allow such determinations to be made with fewer data points. The rates can be used to determine robotic users, which can be blocked, as well as to determine poorly performing placements of the content by the publishers.
