The response from Frederic Merceur suggests that you may wish
to phrase your question more precisely, as he interpreted it
in a way very different to me.
Frederic's response was to the question 'how many HTTP requests
come from Google servers' if I understand correctly. Or
in other words, how much of our traffic comes from robots ?
I understood your question as meaning 'How much traffic comes via
a google referral', or in other words how often do people find
stuff in repositories via a search engine.
The answers to these questions are likely to be very different,
and both are interesting. Which one were you asking ?
cheers
Kevin
