    Today's stats on various spiders/bots on one of my site

    Count Percent bots/spiders
    96 72.2% Googlebot (Google)
    16 12% Yahoo
    9 6.8% Jeeves
    7 5.3% msnbot
    2 1.5% Inktomi Slurp
    2 1.5% technoratibot
    1 0.8% feedster

    Seems that there is heavy crwaling activity, but I can't seem to figure out if its good / bad to have all these bots visiting.

    I have seen msn and yahoo visiting in past but not google...not to this extent

    Actually, that's not very heavy activity for bots for many sites. As to whether it's a good thing, the more often those bots visit you, the better. Especially for a blog.

    Google probably just did a deep crawl on your site. You can check your hits to tell.
