You could use Sweaty's sweat-stained sheets (from all that tossing and
turning worrying about his No. 1 competitor -- GNU/Linux) as a sail.

Recap from another thread:

   http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/26/avg_disguises_fake_traffic_as_ie6/

   Many webmasters may have no choice but to abandon log file analysis,
   adopting alternative tools from companies like Google, Yahoo!,
   comScore, or Nielsen NetRatings. And these tools have their
   drawbacks. comScore's service tends to underestimate traffic from
   daytime work machines. And if you go with Google Analytics, you have
   to tag your pages with JavaScript - and share your traffic numbers
   with Google.
