But we haven't got enough inbound leads - Is it because the tube site owners that buy traffic do not worry about the bot traffic? Or is it that they get sources to buy all genuine traffic?
Bot traffic doesn't convert, which should affect overall CPM. So it works out the same in the end; if half the traffic is bot traffic, you only end up paying half the price.

In theory anyway. But I have to imagine this is why your company is having trouble getting clients.
