Hi guys can anyone advise me what this is

/OHAV1570/1563/fdspdqejG/qlqd/u.htm

My unique vistors have dropped fromm 3000 a month to 40. I cant find any reason why but see this in my logs /OHAV1570/1563/fdspdqejG/qlqd/u.htm and suspect it has something to do with it.

Any clues

Cheers

Yahoo occasionally requests nonsense pages from your site to determine whether your site properly returns a 404 error when a page is not found. The path and filename you gave is a lot more nonsensical, though, than the ones I've seen them use, but maybe they've changed since the last one I saw, or maybe another search engine is doing a similar thing.

You didn't provide much additional information about the log entries, so I can't comment beyond that, but check to see if it was from Yahoo or some other search engine. If it wasn't, then your question about what it is remains unanswered.
