Side point - it's likely you had many more "visitors" than the <10 / day indicated in the article. On most sites I run, I see about 10% of my traffic as showing up in Google Analytics. I hypothesize this is because most of the traffic on the internet is bots.

Bing Bot is the worst at this. They hammer my sites, send me zero traffic, and don't appear to allow me to control their behavior very well. I get 50x the traffic from google cmp to bing, but google is about 1/3 the hits (when looking @ raw logs).

That sounds awful. Can you block it through robots.txt? If not, and if Bing gives you no traffic, you could feed it blank (or just super truncated) pages based on the user agent.
