Hidden Links

Hidden links are invisible links used to detect bot traffic from traders. A hidden link is invisible to real visitors but appears like a normal link to bots that can't interpret CSS visibility rules.

Example:

<div
  style="position:absolute;
    left:0px;
    top:0px;
    width:50px;
    height:20px;
    z-index:1;
    visibility: hidden"
>
<a href="/out.php?link=bla-bla">Enter</A></div>

To use hidden links for bot detection:

1. Add hidden link identifiers to AutoAnticheat as a comma-separated list (e.g., hidlink1,hidlink2) 2. Enable the Hidden Links column in Settings > Layouts 3. The Trade admin screen will now show which traders have clicks on hidden links

A few clicks on hidden links do not directly prove cheating, but they are a reason to investigate that trader more closely.
