search engine blasting

good grief my server is getting hammered with search engine requests.

To the tune of 500 hits since midnight.

Anyone have any idea what that might be about?


I haven't done anything content wise that would explain this and my real organic traffic hasn't picked up at all.

  • You may have been linked to be a high PR site or someone may be spoofing that they are an SE bot and is scraping your site.

    If it's not Google, Yahoo or Bing, block them.

    • Hi Radix,


      If you have AdSense on your site, and get a surge in visitors, you will see an equal surge in Googlebot-Mediabot which is the AdSense bot. If you are concerned you should spot check the IP addresses and verify they are owned by Google.

      By the way, the site in your signature has a canonical issue.
