  Amongst my referrals, into stats, there are many domains which are in fact serch engines, for example the localized version of google itself (google.it).

  Is there a way to tell wordpress those domains are search engine and not referral pages, so that they can be appropriately listed amongst search terms and not referrals?

  Thank you.

  Those are not bots; those are people using the search sites to get to your blog. WP.com stats don’t count spiders and bots.

  I’ve passed this thread on to our data/stats team, who’s on holidays right now but it should be fixed up within a week or two.
