Bots are the key culprits in degrading classifieds and marketplace sites’ availability, user experience, competitive advantage, and brand trust. Bots now make up 61% of web traffic and their negative impact on your site and business can be substantial. For example:Thieves use web scraping bots to steal product listing data, repackage it for sale in the form of lead gen programs, or they place it on unauthorized sites. Massive bot requests slow down your website, and can even take portions of your site down for extended periods of time.”]
