spiders and bots? Our Web hosting agency provides us with Web Trends (a version from the dark ages) yet they refuse to apply the browsers.ini filter to our tracking configuration to filter out search spiders. My company does not want to switch hosting agencies because the one we have is so reasonably priced. So, I am considering setting up Google Analytics for our sites. I don't want to wind up in the same situation though - does Google Analytics filter out search engine bots from tracked data? According to our dark ages Web Trends, search spiders are approximately 75% of our traffic. Therefore I completely mistrust the accuracy of pretty much all the metrics - visits, page views, average visit duration, bounce rate, etc. Do you think Google Analytics can provide us with a more accurate measure of our sites' performance???
