Where is the WebTrendsLive Bot Info?

[Fruit and Veg]

Where can I find if search engine bots have crawled on a WebTrendsLive account?

I feel like Stevie Wonder looking for The Invisible Man in a dark room.

Thanks.

Here's the reply from WebTrends...

Unfortunately Webtrends Live does not track spider generated traffic. This is because spiders do not execute javascript code which is essesntial to our Webtrends Live tracking.

Bummer.

Fruit and Veg,

thanks for the feedback.

No worries. Any suggestions for spying spiders without having to download log files and running them offline would be appreciated.

I'm not going to get obssessed about checking for spiders every hour, but a monthly check to see who's been and who hasn't would be nice.

Just spied this great thread - [webmasterworld.com...]

Q7 states;

I haven't got access to my log file, how do I see if Googlebot spiders my pages.

Use a server side include (eg. Apache XSSI, PHP or ASP) to embed or call a script that checks for:
"Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" as the USER_AGENT or "crawl*.googlebot.com" or "crawler*.googlebot.com" as the HOST. You cannot use an image or Javascript based tracker because Googlebot won't trigger it.

Does anyone have the relevant SSInclude for an .asp page that I can just copy and paste onto a page? Also, could this bit of code be extended to include other bot info?
