Sorry to be so blunt - but what’s the point?

You can also password-protect your site and give the credentials only to your friends.
Problem solved.

Most of the traffic of the web these days is created by bots (unless you’re a popular shop or offer original, often updated content for popular topics, then you’ll actually get visitors).

If it’s not the Big G, it might be bing or baidu or yandex or some other bot.
