Maybe a guess, but an educated one (from running websites myself): the
current number of robots that grab everything on the web without
consideration at a completely mind-boggling rate, and getting things
over and over again. This accounts for a large fraction of any website's
traffic -- and is utterly useless, similar to 99% of all email being spam.
