On the other hand, if they aren't hurting things, maybe what these bots report to Yahoo will help some new users find their way to Radified.

Look who's at the top of the Yahoo search results: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=ghost+12+support http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=ghost+10+support

Now John, you know those new forum titles were

your

idea.

Totally. Search engine spiders are welcome pests. There are prgms whose sole purpose is to invite spiders to crawl (& index) your site.

Some theories speculate invitations lower a site's rank. But when search engines find your site via links from other sites .. that's (supposedly) the best, and that's always been my strategy. Tho I was following this strategy before learning invitations (requests) might not be good.

Google & Yahoo and the big two.

But these Yahoo bots have been here for *days* now.

One time when I checked, server load was high. All other times .. looking good.

And I've been trace-routing the site periodically. Neotrace installs an icon-button on the IE toolbar. Makes it easy to check.

Right now (3:30), for example, RT is 37ms. That's fast.

I've run across links to the Radified forums for Ghost support on several other user support websites, which I'm sure helps. Even the newsgroup forums. I've even been *guilty* myself of answering a question and then including a link to the Radified forums for more info.

I am surprised (and don't know why) though that there is that peak of traffic. Your comments about a Yahoo bot are a good theory.
