Anyone Research Bot hits for Google Analytics?

[Ja Kai]

Specifically, wondering who's bots are from Bayonet Point, Irvine, and Santa Clara?

Has anyone researched this yet?

They are probably from GA itself, estibot, domaintools - or others...

I would add Columbus OH to your list.

Views from both Bayonet Point and Santa Clara come under paloaltonetworks if you look at the Network Domain dimension, and from Columbus under amazonaws. It may be the Amazon Bing Bot mentioned at tastyplacement.com/how-to-recognize-the-indeed-com-robot-and-other-unwanted-visitors

Views from Irvine seem to always have a facebook referral path. I was wondering whether they have anything to do with DNS brokerage located there, but I have no idea.
