What does altavista's crawler look like ?

[diddlydazz]

Can anyone tell me what to look for to see if altavista has indexed my site?

Look for Scooter or trek in your logs to see if you have been crawled. Do a URL lookup at AV (url:mydomain.com) to see if you have been indexed. AV seems to do a lot more crawling than indexing. :(

Take a look:

[webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]

and
Search Engine World/Altavista [searchengineworld.com]

I'd say it looks like a load of 1s and 0s....

AV's spider IPs would be coming from the 209.73.162.xxx subnets.
