You "could" edit the page so that if doesnt add views if the OS is "Search Robot".

But i havent got the forum pages with me to check properly, but i suspect it would be relatively easy.

So is there any way to get the actual human visits to a topic?

It should do, as "Views" is every time the page is loaded, this will also include if you move through the pages (eg page 1, 2, 3, 4 of a thread will add 4 views) and more if you reply or edit a post]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2007 12:49:41 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/does-the-views-count-include-robots_topic24780_post129132.html#129132 <![CDATA[Does the 'Views' count include robots? : Does the &#039;Views&#039; count...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/does-the-views-count-include-robots_topic24780_post129128.html#129128 Author: Dave Evans

Does the 'Views' count include robots?
 
We want the search engines to be able to index our public pages - but does this then over estimate the number of actual views?
