This is why I much prefer Google Analytics -- as it won't get the bots + RSS noise. RSS can have a huge impact (as it's usually equal to or greater than your real traffic). Also all that traffic ends up coming as "direct" referrals. Anyways... something to think about. I'd highly recommend trying out GA, if not only because it's free and there's no downside to trying it out! Interesting stats — but a huge question, do you exclude RSS feeds from AWstats?

I'm a little hazy on this because it's been so long, but I believe awstats used to calculate a bookmark by whether or not the user agent requested a favicon. So favicon request would count as a bookmark. That was somewhat reliable with older browsers, but not for a while now since pretty much all browsers request favicons. Anyway, take both my statements with a grain of salt since I haven't checked this kind of stuff in a long long time, but I think it's still basically true. Oh and one other thing.

That percentage is inflated because it takes all the referrals that you send to yourself. For instance, if I click the link down at the bottom of your blog to see older posts. That referral will be registered in awstats as direct access. All internal referrals from internal links will register as direct access. In reference to the direct address access David.
