I am new when it comes to generating traffic to webpages. I currently have mine hosted at host gator. I have been pushing my site for 3 days and have 74 visitors 43 of which are unique. My question is: How can I tell which of those visitors are human and which are bots/spiders? Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question, just not sure what the best place to put it would be.
#human #question #spiders or bots #users

    Hello, you can check human or bot by checking the HTTP User-agent string.
    There is a rather comprehensive list of bot/crawler/browser user-agents at:
    user-agents.org List of User-Agents (Spiders, Robots, Browser)

    Regards!

      Thank you very much for the information. Seems most of my traffic is spiders and bots.
