    When I get visits to my site..is there a way to be able to
    differ from bot traffic (other then search engines) compared
    to real human traffic? I want to assure my traffic
    is human, not a load of bots that really mean nothing...

    well if you use cPanel, you could use awstatsa, it tells you if the visitors are real humans or bots!
