[TYPO3-english] Count Macina banners impressions not correct ???

[Albert van der Veen]

Hi Jochem,

I had the same issue on a website recently. To find out what generated 
the 'clicks' I added a log function to the macina_banners ext.
Turned out almost ALL of the traffic is generated by search bots.

Based on the log data I added a simple check to the part of the plugin 
that updates the counter. If no referer is present or the useragent 
contains certain strings, the counter is not updated as the 'click' is 
generated by a bot.
This may not be a 100% accurate result, but at least it's closer.

If you want to try it out, let me know and I'll send you the modified 
ext. It's based on version 1.5.0, but according to the changelog version 
1.5.1 is the same except for the removal of debug code.

grtz,
Albert
