Our testimonial sharing app tracks clicks from sharing on facebook, linkedin, twitter and google+. When we first implemented it we saw that shares on social media were getting like 80 clicks in a few minutes. We poked around and found that bots inflating clicks had been a problem for url shortners like bit.ly in their early days. After looking carefully at user agents, IP addresses and behaviour we found that most bots don't load javascript, and could be filtered out by just loading some javascript as part of the redirect. Not sure what Facebook is doing..
