When I did analytics at MySpace, we had a concept called "one hit wonders" for new users that hit one page view per month. That was the typical behavior of a bot for MySpace at the time. Internally, the "one hit wonders" filter would be used by analysts. Externally, the filter would not be used because there was a desire to inflate stats. As a side note, the system to create these stats was pretty cool for its time. It was a 52 node asterdata cluster on bare metal (MySpace had deep pockets at the time). It could analyze every session ever created on MySpace in the span of a few hours.
