    It's possible, don't know what you use to show the number of visitors, but it depends on how long time it uses to "think" a user is still on the site..

    yeah its possible.. especially if you have currently have spiders crawling your site.. I'm pretty sure they count those as visitors.

    Use a web statistics tracking system, like Piwik or Open Web Analytics & dedicated modules to integrate in drupal, filter out robots trafic
