^^ With a simple piece of data, I can measure up to 65% BOT traffic to my sites, with this simple {HP code:
Your example shows Googlebot, which is a web crawler - it doesn't claim to be anything other than a bot. The OP is talking about zombie machines - consumer computers that are (unknowingly) used as proxies to simulate real humans, usually for click fraud.

How are you measuring your 65%? Anything with "bot" in the user-agent?
