Inktomi bot goes nuts

[RawAlex]

Findpics has been assaulted - over 10,000 bot visits in 24 hours. Looks like ANOTHER 8-10,000 already today.

If this keeps up, I am going to need another server just to handle bots.

Yeesh!

I'm just seeing the usual activity here.

Maybe they're setting you up to be one of those sites that get those killer "old style" listings for really popular phrases. |bananna|

I do believe that's the same bot that went nuts on here on 07-08-2004 at 06:23 AM :D

Spiff, I already bagged a couple of those :-)

I have stuff that was listed on Yahoo in 96 and 97 that still generates good traffic.

The bot is going mental. over 50,000 views today

The sucker is LOST!

This is fun:

Inktomi Slurp 11260
MSNBot 8681
AskJeeves 5150
Alexa (IA Archiver) 2483

25,000+ bot hits in less than 48 hours.

They love me or they hate me... i am not sure which.

The last couple of days I've seen a major increase in googlebots. Nothing like you're seeing Alex, but probably 100-200 per site over hundreds of sites.

I guess they're doing some major spydering, for whatever reason.
