Site Management Search bots counted as guests or seperate

[Aaron]

Would you prefer a forum have their search bots such as Google counted as guests or have a seperate bot count?

For example by default with Xenforo bots are counted in the guest count but there's an add-on that can seperate them into a seperate bot count.

I prefer them separate so I have a better idea of the traffic I’m getting

Most of the time I can't tell as they show as the same as anyone else but mostly in the backend you can see what's not real and real bots ;P

I don't like on the who's online part anyway

I prefer them to be separate, Woltlab Suite separates guests from bots which is nice.
