Googlebot hits - 1300+91 - what does the +91 mean?

Discussion in 'Google' started by thepoorteacher, Oct 14, 2008.

    I've searched, but I haven't found an answer to this burning question. When I check my website statistics using AwStats, I see googlebot and other spiders hitting me a bunch for 1300+91 (arbitrary numbers) times. What does the +91 mean? How is it different from the 1300, and why is it counted differently than say a simple addition of 1391 total hits?

    Thanks!

    Am not sure, I have stopped monitoring bot hits to my websites since a while ;)
    But in my opinion i think the first number (13000) is the total hits and the second one (91) is the unique bot IP's hits.

    nope.
    +91 is how many times your robots.txt was hit.

    The numbers after the plus symbol are the total number of successful hits on the robots.txt file by the bot. Hope your problem is cleared by now. :)

    the 1300 are robot hits to your site not counted in other charts.
    the +91 are the hits on your robots.txt file.

    I am happy to get this here.But pardon me,I want to ask a question that is bugging my mind concerning this.
    Is it good if my robot.txt file was hit several times like the number above?
    I will also like to know the usefulness of this robot.txt file.
