asked on

logging page views and excluding web bots

Hi,

I want to be able to do a count of how many times individual product pages are viewed on my webshop but need to log only visits made by actual users and exclude all web bots and search engine scans.
Does anyone know of a way to determine if the page view is an actual user?

Cheers
Leigh

I do run analytics but this is for a component that sits in the ecommerce system itself

I think between SidFishes logic and effx's suggestion of looking for the browser rather than the bots this should be perfect. Thanks both
