Thanks for your repaid reply.  But I am really confused, Look at the image which I have added herewith.  Why this is happening  ?
Normally User online are not less than 200 (at one time) but today, the situation is totally different.

Well your google page rank is only 1/10, not very high at all, I have to wonder if your guest count is really only Bots surfing your site...

I don't really know how to explain any better.  Your low page rank indicates that google does not rank your page high among similar sites, so if someone where to search for a term on your site, they would get another site with the same term before they got yours.

As for actually being bots... have you ever verified that these guests are actual people by looking at their IP's and seeing who owns them?
