Ok idea, but bots (from my knowledge) have workarounds for this for ages. Don't wanna underrate your method, just saying there is much better way. Your way is also limited for site owners, my way is not limited, you can analyze entire traffic pool with it (broker systems etc).

The best, most simple way i found to find out which site are sending bot traffic.
You put a transparant image on top of your site before all links, in the corner, so that no one normally click it, you make it clickable. should go to any page where the only way to go is this transparent image. You setup so that it record every ip of who visit this page, record the referrer, you search the ip/referer on your stats to find out where the hit come from.
Usiung this system i am able to block most of the bad source from traffic exchange. Of course its not good proof enough to ban someone from a traffic network, but, its enough proof for me to filter his traffic out of my sites.
