Newbie - Do Spiders eat JPG files?

I could not identify this IP

[Macguru]

Hi all,

I am new to SEO.

Hers some lines I recently got from some log. Those lines are isolated from other IP.

193.194.65.136 - - [01/Jan/2001:23:47:44 -0500] "GET /images/entete.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 12820
193.194.65.136 - - [01/Jan/2001:23:49:09 -0500] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 354

I think it is a robot but cannot find wich one. It loaded an image? Why?

[Brett_Tabke]

Sure. There are many spiders for windows that will download all images.

There are also Image engines like Altavista and Lycos (Fast) that will dl all the images they encounter. Check out lycos's and Alta's multimedia searches for images.

Thank you Brett_Tabke,

Now is another argument for me to instruct some "art directors" for properly naming graphic files.

I thought filenames were only effective in HTML code calls.

Thanks for teaching a newbie!

We get some good enquiries based upon some image/graphics searches.

I always recommend a carefully chosen filename, and, don't forget to use the alt tags description.

>for properly naming graphic files.

Oh yes. Filenames for images and spidering is very important. There is a great deal of weight given in some engines to filenames - even graphic filenames. Image spiders can go on a "raiding spree" looking for specific filenames.
