    How do bot hits affect your Analytic Stats?

    I installed vBSeo and the sitemap yesterday.

    Here is my stats from today on bots:
    2 2007-07-06 31,308 303 10,373 12,874 2,449 5,309 2,258 13,025 95 15,930
    Over 31K so far today.

    So how does that affect pageviews and user sessions in Analytics? Do these count as pageviews?

    Thanks

    From: Google Analytics Help Center - Why does Google Analytics report different values than some other web analytics solutions?=

    Cookie-based tracking relies on a browser setting the cookie. If cookies are disabled, cookie-based analytics programs (such as Google Analytics) will not count the visit. This would exclude, for example, hits from a robot or spider.
    Analytics doesn't count spiders.
