Methods and apparatus for detecting and filtering forced traffic data from network data

摘要

A non-transitory processor-readable medium is provided that stores code representing instructions to be executed by a processor to filter data associated with an entity for a first predefined time period in response to an access by the entity at a first time to a preselected network location from a plurality of preselected network locations. The plurality of preselected network locations are associated with forced web traffic patterns. The processor is also caused to filter data associated with the entity for a second predefined time period in response to an access by the entity at a second time to a preselected network location from the plurality of preselected network locations during the first predefined time period. The second time is after the first time.

1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
receive an indication of an entity accessing a first network location at a first time, the first network location being preselected as associated with forced web traffic patterns; filter data associated with the entity for a first predefined time period in response to receiving the indication of the entity accessing the first network location; receiving an indication of the entity accessing a second network location at a second time before an end of the first predefined time period, the second network location being preselected as associated with forced web traffic patterns; and filter data associated with the entity for a second predefined time period in response to receiving the indication of the entity accessing the second network location, an end of the second predefined time period being after the end of the first predefined time period.
