Hope I posted this in the right place. My site has been penalized since July 2004 on Y! Here are some recent log files pertaining to Slurp. I need help reading between the lines! I changed the domain name to mydomain.com for obvious TOS reasons. The Jan.8 entry is what I usually see. Issues: Jan.7 has "304" in it. Any idea what this means? Dec.30 is looking for a page I have listed on DMOZ. Is this good, I hope? (I changed the name for TOS) Finally what is "variegator" in the Dec.31 lines? Is there unseen hope for my site with Y?

Hi,

"variegator" may be some kind of script to change the display, for instance by changing the CSS. Yahoo can provide this through "My Yahoo"... Tricky.

304 -> [w3.org...]

some days I have 10 or 15 lines?variegator=2 or 7, on and on. Did some looking on G and found a couple of sites with public logs showing slurp and this varigator thing. They did not look penalized on Y. Lots of pages indexed.
