Hi shahroz, yes you can doe that with Google analytics click events:

<a href="http://www.shopping-cart-templates.org/buy-ecommerce-templates.php" onclick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', '/clicks/shoppingcarttemplates', 'clicked'])" title="e-commerce templates" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://cdn.web-development-blog.com/wp-content/themes/DeepBlue2/images/ecommerce.jpg" alt="e-commerce templates"></a>

I use those events behind the four banners (125px) in my sidebar. (check the code if you like)

Ernie, the tables are just examples. You need to compare them with your current ones.

@Bold Endeavours

most bots doesn’t support Javascript (they just load a page).

It’s possible that your number of pageviews went up, but the number of visitors should not be affected.

Fraudulent (sp?) clicks are a menace – either by bots or by real people. I know plenty of people who have been attacked by fraud clicks on their online PPC advertising campaigns.

Any preventive meansures would be nice to see and its also nice to see plent of people discussing this. Thanks for the post.

Hi,
since most bots doesn’t execute client side code and Google anaylics counts the pageviews for each IP address, I think their stats should be fine.
