several different IP addresses.

|
Set robot traps for an IP address
or User ID. |
With one click, you can turn on the advanced
Captcha feature for any IP address or User ID. CAPTCHA stands for "Completely
Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans
Apart". When this is activated on an IP address or user that you
are concerned with, whenever that user clicks on your ad they
will be confronted with a gateway screen and asked to enter a code
that is displayed. This code is displayed in graphical form and
is virtually impossible for robots and crawlers to decipher, but
easy for a real user. Regardless of whether the test is
passed, they will be redirected to your site. However, the
fail or pass on the Captcha test will be recorded for your
information. |
