Found this bot spidering my site today. Seems to be obeying robots.txt. Google search claims they analyze your website and will optimize your site for a fee. This one was new to me so I thought I would pass it along to the forum members. Here is one item from the log:

91.194.225.nnn - - [27/Nov/2010:14:44:03 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 29525 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Lipperhey Link Explorer; [lipperhey.com...]

I did not ask them to analyze my site. They did not contact me to say they had, nor ask me to use their service.

No About Us page.
That crawl could have been a competitor analyzing your site.

Thanks, martinibuster . I'll keep an eye on them. I also had hundreds of this user agent on the site today, all with different IPs. Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Each log entry was for a different page in a different directory. A busy day.
