Hello Anyone else ever had this : Googlebot 3803+9 1.42 GB 10 Feb 2010 - 03:43 Is this something to be worried about? only happened on one site, all the rest are within normal googlebot search pattern/hits. thanks
Do you have a huge sitemap? I don't think it's possible with normal googlebot. But, if you have lots of images, Googlebot-image may downloaded them all to cache.
If I were you I would immediately check with my host in order to find out how much transfer is allowed per month. You might run short and be shut down. If you don't have a lot of transfer, put a delay in robots.txt Bompa
the stats were taken from the awstats package on a hostgator account. the site is a flash arcade site. this strange googlebot behavior has only happened once on this site (site has been up for approx 6 to 7 months). very strange
Wow that's crazy. But if you say it's a flash arcade site, then I suppose it can make sense. If Google has to crawl through all of the pages on a big site like a flash arcade, it seems normal to have used loads of bandwidth.
Um, why? One of my sites had 3360 unique hits in a month and used 62MB bandwidth total... and yes, my site had images. 2GB is ample space, unless you're hosting something big with lots of visitors.
Totally agree. Infact i had a site that has 3000 visits per day and it used to use 50GB per month.. In this case however 2GB wont be sufficient!
