Need to track users ... but not bots. Any ideas?

If you are using an Auth system, you could always get the users browser and ip then do a host lookup and reverse lookup to make sure it is them.

My old Auth system had a vistors and active users database table in it, when anyone came to the site they were added as a guest, then when they loged in the were added to the active users table with ip and deleted from the active guests table.

I will be converting the old auth over to CodeIgniter soon, I have been looking at changing it into an RBAC Auth system. I have the database tables already designed.

actually, i want to track visitors or our 'users' (we have media buys and cpa performance we are measuring ... ctr and sales etc ...).

i actually store authenticated users ip's too but they get added do a don't track me table so i don't track their hits.
