Duplicate hits when navigating my site...

[discomonkey]

Hey Os'ers,

 

I run a shop at http://www.martinadesigns.com/ and I Just installed Seach Engine Friendly URL (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2796/category,all/search,seo) into my shop that rewrites urls to make the dynamic content search engine friendly.

 

I have a user tracker built in as well, so I can see who's hitting what pages. I am getting duplicate hits for every page hit. For regular users, every page they hit shows a /favicon.ico and every spider that hits, it shows a /robots.txt. here are the lines that are causing it in my .htaccess file:

 

RewriteEngine on

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php

 

Does anyone have a clue as to why I would be getting extra hits (its exactly 1 extra hit per hit, and its always /favicon.ico for users and /robots.txt for spiders)

 

Also, does it hurt to have these extra links?
