Let me rephrase that:

How many legitimate clicks do you think are possible from one surfer (one IP)? Also, how long does a surfer stay on your site?

I have been recording all the click-thrus produced on my site from each IP and I have some pretty high numbers, some are over 100. Also, I have records of a surfer producing clicks one hour after his first click.

I have to block hit bots from going wild on my sites, but I'm not sure at what point is fair. From what I can see, about 40% of surfers click nothing (probably thanks to all the blind links to me), about 30% click once (then get pissed off that it was a blind link and leave), and about 10% click twice. That's about 80% of all traffic. I know I should probably cut off the ones clicking 100 times off my site, but at what point do I start cutting the clicks off? 50? 20? 10? 5?
