Yahoo Crawlers

Which crawlers are from Yahoo?

[jimh009]

Hi,

I've been looking over my logs and can't fully identify whatever crawler Yahoo is now using. I see the following crawlers that seem to be from Yahoo, yet they really don't take much in. Yet, I have 1700 pages or so in Yahoo, so it is obviously grabbing pages from somewhere (although at only half the rate that Google does - I have a 4K page site).

The crawlers I see on my site are :

Yahoo MMCrawler
YahooSeeker

Are these the two main crawlers from Yahoo? And if so, what do each seek out? And does Yahoo have other crawlers I need to look out for?

Thanks.

Jim

Jim,
I have Yahoo-Slurp crawling constantly.

66.196.90.216 - - [10/Oct/2004:06:19:49 -0700] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 2717 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; [help.yahoo.com...]

I believe this the former Inktomi bot.

Yahoo MM I sent packing, which I do to ALL media and image bots.
Perhaps somebody else may expand on Seeker. If they are crawling my sites, I don't recall it at the moment.
