Most search engine bots/crawlers don't store cookies when they are crawling your site. A way to solve this is creating a list with known bots and their useragent strings. If a visitor visits your site check if it's a bot or not and if so look in your sessions table if it has been here before so you can reuse that session. Bare in mind that this solves the problem for most bots, however there are spam bots that act the same and are harder to track since they tend to use 'normal' browser useragent strings.
