Google reader shows up as Google search in AwStats

by Sapphire (February 4, 2007)

I like AwStats, but it’s not perfect.  I use StatCounter to give me more details day to day.  And today, I finally figured out why AwStats is registering hits from Google on Project Mai Tai even though Mai Tai still hasn’t been indexed by Google: AwStats doesn’t distinguish a hit from Google’s feed reader from Google’s search engine.  This is news to me.  I’m not sure it makes a huge difference in determining how much traffic my sites are getting from Google, but it does mean the results are off just a little.
