Hey everybody!!! Does anyone know if there are any sites like Archive.org that crawl, index, and save sites and/or thumbnails of the site frequently (every month) that's been in existence for at least a year (preferrably more) and has a large index of sites in its database like Archive.org? I was trying to find a capture of one of my sites but Archive.org for some reason doesn't have any pages saved in its database from 2009.
Is archive.org even spidering anymore? My sites went from having almost daily (or at least weekly) snapshots, to nothing around the end of the summer in 2008.
The spiders are most definitely still crawling. Just doesn't seem like they are doing anything with the crawls anymore. A quick grep of my web logs show we are getting hit with the archive.org spider at a rate of about 1 page every 20 seconds.
Isn't that about the same time they changed the alexa toolbar user "only" thing to a different system in regards to alexa details (and assumedly waybackmachine)? I seem to remember stopping using the alexa toolbar way b4 that, but how that would then connect to a site if an owner wasn't using the alexa toolbar I have no clue about as the two would be difficult to pin together even for alexa wouldn't they? Points to a connection still being present in regards to alexa tool bar use in some respects but logic tells me that can't be so as I can't see those at Google ranking 1st on alexa using alexa toolbars for example. TBH I don't really care all that much either as although archive.org/waybackmachine has it's uses the connected alexa things always did my head in.
