Are these spiders from Thailand?

repreat visits - who are they

[Gregse]

Dear all,
Im getting repeat visits from Thailand- we dont normally do any business from there.
Are these odd robots?
My tracker is an online one and doesnt record them - but these seem a bit odd.
Sometimes spend quite a while.
Can anyone explain these "visitors" - we have a REDCROSS boaaner advert for the tsumani- is someone doing something naughty through this?
Mildy concerned about future implications of being found by a badbot.

ppp-61.90.22.108.revip.asianet.co.th (61.90.22.108)
and
ppp-203.144.143.7.revip.asianet.co.th (203.144.143.7)

Thanks in advance..

My package- (statcounter.com) doesnt track bots.
However---- they are back again................
Not always the same address, there are at least 2 addresses as example above.
All stop at the home page? (where the redcross banner is - thats why Im curious-- is Redcross being "done over" somehow?

Hope this assists. Thanks for the look in and thoughts.
Regards all.

Gregse,
This script generated partial log data thingys don't provide complete and necessary inormation for exploration.

The folowing one example of a "full" log line in NCSA format.
68.142.250.106 - - [16/Jan/2005:04:28:25 -0800] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 3219 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; [help.yahoo.com...]

The last section between the quotes provides the USER AGENT.
It's the only way anybody will be able to assist you.

In the event that your sites are hosted by a provider which does not give you access to full-logs?
The best service you may considering for yourself is immediately finding another host that does.

Thanks for that info.
My host does provide access to logs but at a cost that I feel is too much. Like I just got an email saying they will analyse logs for $200(one off). :(

Im currently trying to install a new tracker that gathers all hits- few problems- Im a novice with php :), I have a friend assisting me noe to config it.
My current stats is statcounter.com - its ok but limited as you can see-provides the necessary for our normal needs.
Looks like i have to wait till the new webstats prog is on-- Looked at axs- over the top for us. Any suggestions for a free php script? - I have mysql.

Thanks for the advice, I will track this down as it does not seem right. Im concerned someone is going through the redcross banner add (it connects to a donation form on redcross).... thats why Im mildly interested. If I can get it up and see more I will return to the forum.
Regards- keep well

True is an ISP provider in Thailand they offer dial up but mainly ADSL broadband, with no fixed IP.

Don't know if that helps but may well be a user in Thailand. Don't know what your website is about but perhaps one of your regular visitors is on holiday here?

[Gregse]

Hello Visit Thailand,
Thanks for that. Ummm - definitely not trying to cast aspersions on Thailand :).
Our site is still new and in promotion - ant users would be on very specific pages i track (business offers)- the home page is very -who we are sorta thing.
Its not a user, but we are a travel related site (business meetings etc)- we have been getting mail re lost folk in Thaild after the distaster as we are a swedish company but internatnl operators.
The visits are retuns each day sometime 2x... very strange - will track it down :) thanks for input.
keep well

I'll bet your mystery visitor is somebody who set your web page to be the home page of his browser :) Doesn't look like a spider to me.
