I have a counter that will record each time that my site's home page is opened for the first time by a user. Is it possible that I am counting server pings, or 'bots that are 'viewing' my site? I ask, because I do not find the site on the search engines when I enter the key words, and I have not gotten any feedback from the listed contact regarding any inquiries, Yet -- I have at least 3 - 7 hits listed per day, every day for the last several months.
Am I missing out on weeding out non-legitimate hits ? Or am i more popular than I thought (?)
About counting hits to site.

Actually, the way that i am tracing is by setting a server variable when they visit (SERVER['logged_in']; and then incrementing for each hit that doesn't have that variable set ( of course i set it after I increase my count by 1).
I am not feeling "picked on" by the counts -- I just want to be accurate --
