The Almaden spider from IBM (http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/crawler) appears to be taking a joyride at my site for the past few days. Does anyone know if it's clear IBM will be furnishing some kind of search engine backbone for sure, or are they pretty much just wasting my bandwidth? I might leave the crawler alone as an investment to see if they end up bringing me more traffic in the future.

Almaden is a serious technology - and it has been developed already. Im not so sure that they ever intend to release it for general public use, however.

Over the past few months my consistent method of accumulating and keeping my bots data has been totally upset.
I had short period where I allowed this bot otherwise they have been denied.
I'm not sure when or why?
But I have inserted a reference to Compusereve with them?
Anybody have a clue?

Why run it if they never intend to release it?
