lj511882.crawl.yahoo.net -- All around the name like that. I bought the name literally five minutes ago and all the sudden Yahoo got all over me.
Wow, that's weird. That might be a good thing though. They might be indexing your site. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.
looks like they are upto something. Yahoo spiders are all over in masses. 105 yahoo spiders in my forum the other day.
How do I know if a yahoo spider or spiders crawl my site? Where do I find that sort of information? Kindly advise. Thanks!
John F - Lucky you though. Yahoo musta liked your domain name and the content that was going in on your forum. If you have a Cpanel like Cpanel X2 or something similiar, log in doing a 2082 on your site and look for the icon that says Web/FTP stats. It gives you a variety of versions of stats like awstats, analog et cetera. I usually pick awstats for my info on what spiders crawled my site.
Thanks, ipstong! I don't think I have those. I use a WYSWYG editor (I'm a novice at this stuff, by the way) and haven't seen that kind of control in my editor interface. I wish I had them or is there any other way to find out what spiders crawl my site?
my site is always full of yahoo spiders its an old forum...and no1 uses it anymore..but still i have about 20-100 yahoo spiders at any given time
Yahoo Slurp is a huge pig. It downloads 5x any other crawler to my sites, eating bandwidth like Godzilla. I now disallow Slurp from all but my first level pages. /*tom*/
last couple of days are going crazy for me... Yahoo seems to be trying to improve it's results.. I like it
