robot names - please help

[Ade]

can anyone help me? I have a UK website and I am going to have to divide it into 2 sections british and international

I need to write a robots.text file but i do not have access to server logs, i need to know the names of these spiders, in particular the altavistaUK and miragoUK bots

does anyone know of an extensive and upto date list of spider names

~thankyou

Anyone on that side of the pond care to jump in?

Abe, you stumped littleman on a spider question! I would have this thread printed and framed, it is very rare that this happens.:)

The "Scooters" are the crawlers, I do not submit to AVuk.
Henry is the only mirago bot I know of.

thanks startup,

littleman can still have a grab because I need a list of as many spider names as poss, not just UK ones ;)

is google's spider called googlebot or do they have multiple spiders with different names now?

I have a list of robots at [jafsoft.com...]

The names tend to exclude version numbers, and
I don't go back and check they're still active once added to the page.

I also have a page on search engines at
[jafsoft.com...]
This includes a list of around a dozen UK
search engines, but doesn't include their spider
names.

I seem to be posting this URL a few times :-)
Is there a resource page on this site I should
be submitting these links to?
