Crawlers / bots

[ayham]

In google analytics I started to see a lot of visits from Hong Kong a couple of months ago. About 20/30 day. The page views seem to be completely random so I suspect it’s a bot or crawler. I have no idea.
I tried to add code to .htaccess that blocks most common bots on the recommendation of my web host, but still I get those visits.

Any recommendations as to where I can read up more about this?

thanks.
