Doesn't matter. "Hits" are a meaningless metric.

One of the organizations I volunteer for get "hit counts" from Go
Daddy
for its website (www.rutlandhistory.com <http://www.rutlandhistory.com/

).
We are getting about 20,000 hits a month.
How many of these hits can I believe to be searchers, rather than
spiders, etc?
Is there any way to tell?
Thanks for the help!
