Hi Warriors
I am running google analytics and I cant find anywhere where you can see the difference between real humans and bots? I guess this is not available? If not what is the solution then? How can I be able to track the difference. I am using hostgator and from awstats they cannot see that either?

For any suggestion I would be grateful on how to track this?

Thanks
Chloe

I am not sure if this will do exactly what you want but there is a service at clicktale.com that gives you a video of every visit to your site and even shows their mouse movements over the site.
There is a free option that gives you 100 views a week and then you can upgrade if you want more.
I recently paid for an email blast service that was supposedly sending targeted prospects in the niche to my site but turned out to be bots to get clicks on my site. I was able to see that the clicks resulted in no movement of the mouse on my site and the average hit time was a few seconds. Armed with this information I quickly requested a refund.

Yes Clicktale is a pretty usefull at this kind of issues.

That looks pretty good. And there's also a free option, but I think I would rather just go with GA for higher amount of visitors.

You can still have google analytics on your site as well as clicktale.
GA only tells you where the traffic comes from but you dont know if it's real or a bot.
At least with clicktale you can see a video of what the visitor did while on your site. Moose movements, filling out opt ins etc.
