Hi Mylees, I was thinking it would be interesting to talk about internet bots and how they can affect your web site. It is a very wide topic, but I can summarize down to a short talk for any/all these items: -web traffic, what is a bot, good and bad bots -tracking bot activity on your site: using your raw access log -identifying a bot: tracking down their origins/owners -good vs bad bot activity -humans vs bot behaviour -banning them from your site I have done some of this talk before for a Wordpress Toronto group: https://wptoronto.com/2016/10/fighting-spam-wordpress/ What do you think? Don.
