Name of PT-Spider

[oLeon]

I really donīt know:
what are the UA / IP of the position-tech spider (concerning the payperview-game for ink)?

Is this the one you want?

IP: 209.185.141.249

UA:

Slurp/cat ([e-mail]; [inktomi.com...]

The UA listed above will come daily and gather all pages that were submitted to Position Tech.

[oLeon]

yes, it is -
I wasnīt sure if the pt-spider has got the same name as the ink has. Itīs important for the cloaking, isnīt it? ;-)

Very interesting!!! We are not part of the new pay program. I have seen this spider. It took 20 pages.

Can anyone tell me what "Slurp/si" might be? This one took over 80 pages.

I sent Inktomi a mail asking about this spider, Slurp/si a few weeks back. They said that it visits the site often to check for any updates in the pages/site. This was in regards to sites submitted through Inktomi's parnters. (HotBot, Canada.com, etc.) The more often you update the page, the more often the robot visits.

hmmm Ok, this spider just showed up last month. I am glad to know what he does. Can you tell me who Slurp.so is?

Slurp.so will check your site less often than Slurp/si. Slurp.so is a deep crawler.

So to sum it up...

Slurp/si

Is the robot that will check your robots.txt file and root index page for any site updates. Like any new links to sub-pages, keywords, text, you name it they check for it.

Slurp.so

Is the spider that will visit your site on a weekly or monthly basis to grab all linked pages within the site. If there is a link to them somewhere then it will follow.

Thank you. I have a better idea of who is who now. These damn spiders are enough to drive a woman mad.
