Log file question

Two requests for every file, different code

[riverstyx]

I've recently noticed this and think it might have something to do with duplicate content issues (just did a mod_rewrite to direct non-www domain to www domain). When Mediapartners-Google visits it requests every page twice:

"GET /mydirectory/uniquepage.html HTTP/1.1" 200 9232 "-" "Mediapartners-Google/2.1"

"GET /mydirectory/uniquepage.html HTTP/1.1" 200 9546 "-" "Mediapartners-Google/2.1"

The only difference is the number following the 200 page found code. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

TIA,
RS

9232 and 9546 represent bandwidth. The fact that they are different leads me to believe you have dynamic content (text/code wise) on this particular page.

get = method
/mydirectory/uniquepage.html = file location
HTTP/1.1 = HTTP version
200 = response code
9232 = bandwidth
"-" = referer
"Mediapartners-Google/2.1" = useragent

Your referer shows - which means no file refered this so in the browser this would be a direct request (like typing in the url manually and then hitting go).

Ah... that's exactly the case. Thanks for clarifying.
