    Hi, please help me understand what % of monthly traffic is from the bots as compared to actual end users. Also what % of the bot traffic originates from US compared to other countries.

    Thanks

    You can use Google analytics and it will show you only human visits.

    Why you want to track bots visit and wasting your time?

    In order to get an accurate number of bots, you will need to use bot tracking software. (I'm assuming that you also want to track the bad behaving bots which masquerade as legitimate traffic).

    Thanks glitto and gostats. And yes I am interested in the bad behaving bots, to better demarcate the data.
