Do web stats include robots that visited the website?

[someone]

I was wondering if the numbers of pageviews include robots or spiders that visited the site? Or it depends on which program I use?

yes, it generally does depend on the software and how you set it up

someone,

Typically, web log analyzers can include spider visit details, but page tagging that relies on Javascript, will not have details about spiders as most spiders do not execute javascript.

Hope that helps,
