Stopping bots from influencing WordPress Stats?

Here is a blog post trying to explain what I mean : https://prgphotography.com/blog/2010/wordpress-users

anyone?

no one?

Do you have any non-javascript way of tracking your stats? awstats, apache logs, perhaps?

Check there, block the culprit at server level. obviously if it’s google, you don’t block them. But if it’s any of random scrappers i deal with it everyday ..then block them for sure.

I use Woopra and Google Analytics too. The ‘hits’ do not show up there. They only show in WordPress Stats
