    Unknown means mapping tools operated by users and bots belong to minor search engines.

    Major bots are:
    Googlebot
    MSNBot
    Yahoobot
    AskJeeves and
    Alexa

    They respect robot.txt file. Server count hits on this file. If you do not have a robot.txt file, most probably major search engines will ignore your site. However, other bots will still map your site.

    as I mentioned in another post I beileve the bot has temporarly stopped crawling sites because msn is sifting through 100 million pages and rolling out a new algorithm.

    Any idea's on what this new algorithm is likely to be or when it's due to go live? MSN has been spidering my sites a little less lately.

    I'm seeing them less too. I think they are working on something new. Hope it works right! :)
