iAPPS Analyzer statistics feature built-in Bot and IP filtering. “Bots” are automated programs that search or “crawl” the web constantly to gather information, such as indexing websites for search engines. If they are not filtered out then these automated entities can affect your statistical reports by registering many more users on your site than might have really visited.
If you are an iAPPS SaaS customer, known Bots and Crawlers will be filtered out for you automatically, ensuring the accuracy of your analytic reports. For perpetual customers, you can download updates from Bridgeline. Contact your Project Manager for details.
In addition, you can also filter specific IP addresses, such as those for your own organization. That way, visitors from outside will be the only ones that register.
