The Hidden Risk Most Domain Investors Ignore

When flipping domains on Flippa, I always run a bot traffic check first. Here's a simple Python script to automate that with the SerpSpur Bot Traffic Detector:

python
import requests

def check_bot_traffic(domain):
url = f"https://serpspur.com/tool/bot-traffic-detector/?domain={domain}"
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
if data['bot_percentage'] > 50:
print(f"🚫 {domain} has {data['bot_percentage']}% bot traffic.")
else:
print(f"βœ… {domain} looks authentic.")
else:
print("API error")

check_bot_traffic('example.com')

This tool saved me from buying a domain with 90% fake traffic. Always verify audience authenticity before any investment.
