Been working on a nitch blog. Started 2. One seems to bring in more traffic then the other. Is AWStats accurate? Are these all bots and this is all bull$hit or what.

No idea. That's the data I'm getting my other blog gets literally half the traffic.

Are you using any other analytics software like Google analytics or others? Maybe Google analytics can tell something about traffic that AWS doesn't.

Yes 38 impressions one click. Says most traffic coming from elsewhere obviously. In guessing there's tons of people searching using other methods other then Google. AWStats says it's filtering bots out. Dunno.

Used low competition keywords for every post. Literally was getting no impressions to getting like 4to12 per day it seems.

That's why I asked you if you are using Google analytics so that we can look for the source of this traffic. If you have a method in AWStats to look for source of all traffic then it shouldn't be too hard to tell.

Also, it might tell user-agents & IP addresses, which can be used to determine whether it is bot traffic or real

These are all server requests.

Most of them are not genuine visitors.

Got it that's what I figured. My analytics are shooting up though. Let's see what the next few months look like.

Does this plugin show source of traffic?

Just curious - how can you tell these are server requests?

Yeah that should be more accurate.

Yandex Metrica filters robots by default and even tell you their percentage in overall traffic.

AWStats interprets server log files.
