You are spot on. Less than 7% of the Bing referred traffic during July was not from a MS IP number on my obscure website. The single search word in the supposed referral was typically something my site didn't hit the top 50 sites on... Apart from the above clue there are some obvious bot signs about this traffic: - no cookie is ever set - single word search phrase - 65.55.* IP adresses - fires of Javascript call for web analytics systems as well This makes up a lot for the Bing claim for increased search percentage. This is a spoof.
