Cool tool that will alert you when and what spider visited your site.

This little php script will alert you when various spiders hit your site. Its great when you just published a new content and want to know the minute an engine picks it up.

spider alerting

Just include the script - change your email address and you are off to the races.

Note: its obviously not intended to be placed site-wide - as the thing is going to email you once for every page the spider hits.

Its free so spread the love. All comments / hatemail welcome

 

Maybe it's overloaded right now... I can't get through

 

too many spiders hitting that site no doubt

 

I had someone else's tool like this installed, I wasn't so interested by it.. I need something that will analyze my logs and/or track and generate a log of spider activity.. I want to know when and how deep deep crawls occur and go.. not an individual page.

I think a good logfile analyzer is more useful, but nothing against your tool ryan, it's good if you want to be notified.

 

the page loaded for me, but the download didn't

 

You can also use www.crawler-alert.com which does somthing similar.

 

sorry... about the 404 its back... hope it helps someone....

Ryan, I looked at your script and it looks like a cool prgram. I justed downloaded it to give it a try.

 

Hey nice script ryan

I modified it to something different, you can check it out at www.toseef.com/crawled.php its very simple really just chuck the data in a db instead of emailing it

If anyone wants it, just let me know i'll release it on here when I get home

Thanks
