I checked awstats some hours ago and saw that an IP from Great Britain made over 31.000 page loads on my directory . I said that it might have been an user that I rejected site , but then a friend told me that he might've been parsing my directory and copying it I'm freaked out ... please help me ! What should I do ? Ban that Ip class ?
Do one thing ... First Block the ip address ....if u block the range then no one in Britain can use ur site ...but its ok block it for some time and contact the script admin ....and ur host support -Sri
it maybe not the actual human traffic... there is no reason to copy your directory or category structure...
If its a niche they will just copy it like they do with everything else I would report them to google and yahoo once you have a url. thx malcolm
What they can do with copy of that directory as I think they can't modify it easily because they are html pages...
You often see stuff like this. You only have a general directory if its the one in your sig....nothing to worry about.
You are using a free template and what appears to be a category dump, so tons of people are already running a copy of your site. Sorry, not trying to be mean, just sharing my opinion. Blocking ip addresses don't do much, as they can change.
If this person is copying your directory, then congrats as that means you have a great site. All the best champ.
just my 2 cents but could it possibly be a crawler like google or yahoo as I see things like that in some of my sites alot
