Bot Filtering

A zero-result report is worthless if half the queries came from a scraper hammering your search box at 3 a.m. Bots inflate your totals, skew your trends, and send your team chasing problems that only a script was having. Keyspider strips that noise out before it ever reaches your analytics, so what you read is what real visitors actually did.

Bot Filtering
Known bots and crawler signatures filtered out before events are recorded
Data-center IP ranges excluded, so automated traffic doesn't pad your counts
Scripted behavior patterns detected and removed, not just a user-agent check
Your zero-result and trending reports reflect humans, not a search flood
Rate limits per IP and session stop a script from skewing results in the first place
Cleaner data means your team fixes real gaps instead of phantom ones

How it works

1

Catch the obvious

Traffic from known bots and data-center IP ranges is identified and set aside. These are the crawlers and scrapers that never had a question to begin with.

2

Spot the scripted

Beyond simple signatures, Keyspider watches for behavior no person produces: hundreds of queries a minute, perfectly even timing, the same path on repeat. That gets filtered too.

3

Record what's left

Only real visitor activity reaches your analytics. So when you see a spike in zero-result queries, you know it's people hitting a wall, not a crawler making noise.

Use cases

Public government sites

High-traffic public portals attract constant automated scanning. Filtering keeps the reports residents' searches drive from being drowned out by bots.

Accurate zero-result work

Before a team spends an afternoon on a failing query, filtering confirms real people are searching it, not a script probing for weaknesses.

Trustworthy trend lines

A clean baseline means a genuine surge stands out. Bot noise flattened trends and hid the signals that matter.
