Newsletters is all about subscriber engagement, that is measured by which section they spent maximum time, and which buttons they clicked. What if these numbers are inflated due to BOT activity? Due to this noticing an unexpected spike in link clicks can be both exciting and bewildering. You look at your metrics and marvel at the impressive numbers, but a nagging doubt lingers in your mind. Why are your newsletter clicks so high, especially right after sending out your campaign?
Determining why these inflated clicks occur is crucial, particularly for those relying on accurate data to shape their strategies. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at BOT clicks, their impact on your newsletter metrics, and how Aida AI’s BotDivert can help.

What Are BOT Clicks?
BOT clicks refer to clicks produced by automated systems instead of genuine users. If you see a dramatic rise in link clicks just minutes after sending your newsletter, it's likely due to these automated activities. Many email security programs scan incoming messages for potential threats, leading to multiple clicks on your links.
For instance, research indicates that nearly 63% of B2B emails are scrutinized by such security tools, which may lead up to 51% of your reported clicks being from bots rather than actual subscribers. Understanding this phenomenon is vital for maintaining the integrity of your newsletter performance metrics.
The Challenges Posed by BOT Clicks
High click rates can paint a misleading picture of your audience's engagement. When genuine interaction gets drowned out by these bot clicks, it can result in misguided marketing strategies, and wrong optimization decision of your newsletter.
More than just inflated metrics, this scenario can lead to wasted resources. For example, suppose your data shows a 75% click-through rate. In reality, if 40% of those clicks come from bots, your true engagement is much lower than reported. Worse part is you will see equal number of clicks in all the buttons and hyperlinks in your newsletter email. This misunderstanding hampers your ability to connect effectively with your audience, and make changes to upcoming newsletters.

For newsletter editors and marketers, this can be a challenging hurdle, especially when accuracy is key to driving successful campaigns.
