The hit count system has been updated to exclude the most common bot traffic.
Any hit from bot, crawl, slurp, spider, mediapartners, yandex, bingpreview, duckduckbot, baiduspider, facebot, facebookexternalhit, googlebot and ahrefsbot will not be counted as a hit.
These bots will still be able to see the page and do what they need to do but they will not be counted as a hit for the page. This will make the hit counts more accurate.
