What is the best way to detect bot generated activity (clicks/page visits) etc on a asp.net website? We have a website where we track leads generated to external websites, we track the IP of the user that generates the lead however we are seeing a lot of leads generated by Google and other search bots. What is the best way to filter this activity. I have heard of testing user agent strings and filtering based on know IP addresses, both available as data dumps from various sources, I am not sure which is the best one to use.
Thank you.

Like @Kinopiko said, Bots, esepcialy the top ones like google, or bing leave a clear UserAgent.
I don't know what your code looks like so I can't tell you what to do but to find the UserAgent in Asp.Net you look at Request.UserAgent in any WebForm, CodeBehind, or MVC Controller.
