Hi,
I know you will all have seen the gigabot visit your site. It started hitting one of mine last night and only stopped today when I banned it. It took 2gb of bandwidth and my site only has 500 pages, it got stuck in some kind of a loop, thinking that cart IDs are new pages.
It seems to me to be a very poorly written bot, which sucks bandwidth and resources and returns no visitors?
I donââ¬â¢t mind being crawled but itââ¬â¢s nice to get some visitors back?
Anybody else got any comments on this search engine? Anybody actually get any traffic from it?
Regards
Steve
