There seems to be a lot of suspect traffic names at the forums lately. I have never seen so many in the past.
One tip is that I have noticed a number of them somehow involve Asian traffic going to non-asian domains. Always check the stats hrly traffic. Watch for unusual patterns especially a lot more traffic late at night than during the day (using US time zone).
One more tip I can give is look at odd looking moves up and down (instead of normal uptrends and downtrends) in traffic making the graph look choppy rather than a smooth look to it. A normal traffic graph looks like a near perfect bell curve moving up steadily in the early going, with one high peak about mid-day, or alternatively a double top, one in late morning and again early afternoon (but still keeping an overall bell shape), and then a long consistent downtrend into the late afternoon and evening.

Some of this talk is extracted from stock and commodities market jargon but is applicable to domain traffic.
Anyone else here have some tips?
