How Does AlertBot Affect a Site's Hit Counter?
AlertBot acts like a normal user when testing your site. For this reason, each test will be recorded in your server's log files just like a normal user. If you are running a web site stats program that works off of your server's log files, then you should keep in mind that every monitoring test will show up as a page-view in your stats.
On the other hand, if you are running a JavaScript-driven hit counter on your site, our monitoring will have no affect on it because it does not run the JavaScript on the page.
Please see the related article below for ways to remove the effects of AlertBot monitoring from your website log reports.
