PHP requires access to the server. So this means it won't be allowed on blogs (in most if not all cases). It's a security risk-- you could use it (easily) to hack the server [since you're already on the server], for example.
I'm not sure about your predictions here: if someone is visiting your page a lot, what makes you think they're stealing things? Why not just save [file>save] your page once then work from that local copy?
You might be right, but I'm not convinced. Perhaps it's the google bot indexing your page. Sometimes that can generate a lot of hits. Actually, I'm under the impression that the google bots "plays nice", but that some other bots (yahoo? msn?) tend to generate a huge number of hits in a short time.
Anyway, it may be any number of causes, but you can pursue blocking it if you'd like. A Javascript redirect is not really a smart way around it. Additionally, it's going to be very hard to figure out what's going on because you can't view the users doing this to your pages. It might be a bot that entirely ignores redirects or it might be a hacker who knows how to block them--- or it may just be a user who likes your pages and not will get confusingly redirect somewhere else.
Also, another possibility is that someone is using your page, such as in an iframe on their site. But that wouldn't explain the short time increase then decrease again.

Naw, it's some guy who checks in a lot. You can see him hitting my page once after another, starting at #AK, then #AL....down to #FL....#WA. The same page, but scrambling down one state after the next state, using the CONTENTS at the top of the page. He's not a bot since bots don't use the CONTENTS. 
The Google/Yahoo/MSN/Yandex/etc bots I already know about and I know their IP addr ranges. This isn't them, tho.
But that's one reason why I like the redirects, yah...so that it can help me figure out what's bot and what's not.

Alright. Well for something that complex you should definitely go with PHP because it'll give you the control you need. You could also look into .htaccess for less controlability, but less difficulty in setting it up.
