Recognizing search engines in .Net

[andyll]

I have converted my website to an ASP.Net database driven site.

To improve performance I cache each page for 1 hour.

I’m a little worried that bots will eat up a lot of memory because they’ll hit most of the pages.

Is there an easy way to determine if a Bot is reading my pages so I can turn off caching?

Hi Andy,

You can determine this by:

1. installing google analytics
2. Or Sign-up with [google.com...]
there you an know at what date bot visited your pages...

- Thanks

You could always use output caching to disk, instead of memory. Just search for disk output cache for ASP.NET, and you'll see a number of possible solutions.
