    .htaccess file

    figure who's what and then deny them access to your site.

    The best way to eliminate bot is to log the ip address and find how many times it visit your website in a certain time. Bot can visit many times in a second. If bot is detected then you should display capcha validation to make sure it's not a bot.

    Make sure to exclude bots from search engines. :)
