MSNBot did untill this date 1GB traffic on my site and I have only 200 pages indexed, no more than 2 kilos for every page. Yahoo indexed 4800 pages and made 500Mb traffic and google indexes 2500 and made 700 Mb traffic. here`s a paste: Hits Bandwidth Last visit Googlebot 30254+26 688.16 MB 16 Oct 2006 - 15:57 Inktomi Slurp 16310+896 432.39 MB 16 Oct 2006 - 16:00 MSNBot 11144+271 938.65 MB 16 Oct 2006 - 16:00 I'm even thinking to block msnbot from crawling my site since it's not bringing to many visitors....
Hi shutzu, I personally would not recommned you to block MSNBot. I myself having some problem with MSNBot not indexing websites etc.. and i think this happened after they shifted to Live Search. May be you should wait a little more maybe there is some bug or something in live search. Plus it is good that your website have 200 indexed pages. I have a website which was indexed in Google, Yahoo but not in MSN a couple of week ago. But not its indexed and have some cached pages too.
I have the same situation the highest bot crawl i get is from MSN and it is in and out my sites about every 2 hours. Pete
