RE: UKNM: spiders / page impressions

Cheers for that info.


The spider was responding directly to the combinations of pages we were

submitting in almost realtime and so was probably not a human. We've logged

its IP and will do some more testing on AV in the future.


Has anyone ever checked what % of page views Spiders actually account for?

This is probably not the normal spider (Scooter) - but the extra one that

comes around every so often


The aim is to defeat search engine page cloaking mechanisms.


Are you also sure that it was not someone from the AV staff? Or someone

using the altavista ISP?


All the altavista staff IP addresses are listed on the page linked from
