Bot tracking with mobidea tracker

Hi, I'd like to ask if anyone is using mobidea tracker and knows how to set up different click urls to different offers? Because I'd like to track bot traffic that I get from traffic source. I've contacted their support and asked the same thing multiple times, just in a different way, but I suppose they don't understand what I'm asking.
 
As far as I know there are no trackers that can identify bot traffic with 100%. most of them don't have a bot filter at all, so you have to set up those filters manually for a specific traffic source. However, Keitaro for example has such filter as well as few others of such kind, so it makes sense for you to check them out.
 
They have some clues to identify bot traffic like:
- Data center IP
- Blacklist IP address
- No histories/cookies
- Devices: is that a real device or emulator
 
I am blocking approximately (or as many as?)

2,000,000 to as many as 10,819,395 data center IPs and I am still finding some bots :eek:

I am using a webserver (Nginx) configuration file to map this.
Trying to do this with some web tool is ludicrous IMHO.

The overhead is about 300 ms
