I dunno whats causing the problem with the stats...

But the robots.txt file is used to tell search engines what they can and cant index on your site..

add a file called robots.txt
and upload it in your server.

You can add the rules for the robots to adhere to.

The link Dark-skys99 gave you is a perfect start.
