Hi Fred,
Also make sure that your statistics are not indexed, since Google
makes an effort to find them, although none of the below directories
exist :

/stats/  	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/webstats/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/webalizer/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/statistik/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/statistiken/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/webalizer/web/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/usage2/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/logs/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/statistiques/ 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com
/statistics 	crawl-66-249-72-167.googlebot.com

When Google does find them, and you/your client visits the 'hidden'
project, the requests will start to appear in the server statistics...

Cheers,
Roel
