    How can I tell which kind of traffic my site gets? (Real or fake)?

    Thanks.

    look for diversity of ip's, referrers, and whether javascript is enabled

    just off the top of my head.

    Use awstats instead of webalizer. Awstats tends to filter out the bots.

    Well, whatever tracking system you use, the criteria is still the same. You want to see diversity in the characteristics of the visitors.

    The choice of tracking systems is simply a matter of choosing a tool.

    Track your conversions (leads, newsletter singups, ad clicks, etc) and you'll know if it's real or not :)
