My site has been visited several times recently by a spider with user agent string "Pompos/1.3 http://dir.com/pompos.html". The spider is well behaved, and seems to be collecting for a French language SE, dir.com.
Has anyone else with an English-only site been visited by Pompos? If so, did you subsequently appear in dir.com?

Dir.com is an engine for french language sites. Perhaps the spider is just off track. Could be the site in question has links from french sites.

Hi Nick - welcome to WebmasterWorld.
>did you subsequently appear in dir.com?
I did a couple of spot checks and they list english sites, so you might get lucky and end up in their serps :)
