wizardsandwars Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Well, if you stop them from spidering your site, then they won't list you in their index. Why in the world would you want to do that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

tholt576 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 That's not what I want. I want it to stop creating a different session every time it spiders the site. As far as I can tell inktomi is in the spiders.txt file in the include directory and "prevent spider sessions" is set to true in the config page. What am I missing? I don't see the other spiders doing this. Has inktomi changed it's user agent lately or something? Blessings, Tom ScubaChick Incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardsandwars Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 No, intomi is using the smae agent. Did you just recently switch on the 'prevent spider sessions'? Is it possible that inktomi is visiting links that it previously gathered? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

tholt576 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 prevent spider sessions is set to "true". I think it's calmed down since I set "force cookie use" to true, but I wonder if there is a downside to forcing cookie use. And I'd really like to know why it was doing it. I supose it is possible that inktomi was just looking at old links from it's database, but it would be kind of unlikely. I think I only had osc going without the prevent spider sessions set for maybe a day or two when I went live sometime about two weeks ago.

tholt576 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Okay, it appears that it is not inktomi, but rather yahooseeker. I added that to spiders.txt. We'll see if that fixes the problem. Blessings, Tom ScubaChick Incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
