Forward thinking travel brands understand the importance of IT and business working together to solve the bad bot problem.

When aggressive scrapers caused slowdowns on iCruise.com, Antoine Zammit, VP of technology at WMPH Vacations, said enough was enough.

Hear more about how he stopped the scrapers and the resulting business benefits in a FREE 30-minute workshop taking place on Tuesday October 3.

• How WMPH increased site speed by 40%, and leads by 100% YoY
• How to protect your competitive advantage, site security, SEO rankings, customer base, and brand
• How to verify your advertising dollars are generating human clicks
• The cascading negative effects of form spam and how to stop it – without annoying CAPTCHAs

Blocking bad bots isn’t just the purview of the IT department. When nefarious competitors, hackers and fraudsters use bots for content theft, account takeover and fraud, they also skew web analytics and look-to-book ratios, and place a drag on marketing KPIs and the customer experience.
