hia all
Ok.. I have had http://www.totalsmudge.co.uk for about 4 months and google is a dailey visitor.
Is there a new google bot out there at the mo? because i have had "crawl-66-249-64-35.googlebot.com" and a few of its frends indexing my site since 06.30GMT today. Also "spider2-4.picsearch.com " has been on my site for over 4 days.
Is something happening with the way crawlers are working?
or has my site just been lucky?
It's just my bandwidth is dropping quite quickly.
Any insight would be greatfull

Do you have a robots.txt file? If a spider is staying that long, you may have trapped it by accident (usually a poorly written spider).

Not sure if that is google or not, googles main UA is "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" with the IP 64.68.82.xx (from my files)
more info here http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/active/html/googlebot.html
while the googlebot.com does go to google.com there is no mention of that site.
picsearch.com can be a resource hog

hi i have got a text file robots.txt and it is upto date.i'm just wondering, i use .htaccess file for re aranging the url's from .php? to .html pages. it is designed for goole but could it cause a problem with other crawlers?
I must be doing something right as after 4 months im within the top 30 listing on gooogles uk pages.
As it is i just about keeping up with google now!!
well lets get back to it
