Bot traffic behavior and 2nd tier PPCs

[megatabbers]

Do bots click on landing page links?

Might be a stupid question but I'm asking because I started messing around with some 2nd tier PPCs and am blocking the traffic that merely bounces.

But then, I have placements/partners where the traffic seems good (clicking through my links to the offer). Would a bot do that or is all/most of that traffic legit?

Don't trust second tier PPC like Ask.com. i tried their sponsored listing and it sucks. mainly coz they now block the referrer and way too many inflated clicks with literally 0 conversions. The same ask.com traffic with organic results converts better.
