Hi, I'm trying to divide the spider visits from the rest of my stats. Is there a way of doing this short of collecting the never ending number of spider ip's? Thanks for any help.

Normally you can filter out spider visits based on their agent names (i.e. browser).
So instead of filtering out all Googlebots ip addresses you just exclude "googlebot".
You can find a list of spiders here. [spiderhunter.com]

AW stats can be configured to show Spiders as spiders. AW stats recognize up to 60 different spiders.
