Dangerous bot traffic comes from datacenter IPs and shows 100% bounce rates. Real residential traffic uses household IPs, scrolls pages, clicks links, and appears as configurable browsing activity to analytics.
Yes! Our custom campaigns let you set the referrer. You can enter URLs like facebook.com or Reddit.com so the traffic appears as social or referral in your Google Analytics.
