cj.com spider?

[jp_19]

I keep seeing mx4.cj.com indexing "/" and "/robots.txt". I don't have an account with them, so what's the deal? Anyone know what they are looking for?

Thanks.

It's a mail server of Commission Junction. When an advertiser gets a request from you to join their program, they're probably clicking through to your homepage from their CJ mail.

We aren't applying to any affiliate programs and this is a daily occurance. If someone was clicking through, then it would come from their IP. This is a spider.

Just dug a little deeper in the logs:

mx4.cj.com - - [25/Sep/2003:06:28:04 -0400] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 105 "-" "CJNetworkQuality; [cj.com...]
mx4.cj.com - - [25/Sep/2003:06:28:04 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 16965 "-" "CJNetworkQuality; [cj.com...]

After reading:
[cj.com...]

I guess I need to ask CJ why they are spidering our site, since we don't have an account.

Thanks.
