naked, dick

Posted by josh on August 23, 2007

Looking through the log files is a dangerously addictive habit as anyone who has run a website will know and one of my lesser vices is rooting about in our website logs trying to work out how and why people come to our site.

By far the biggest proportion of our traffic is handed down to us like manna from the capricious gods of mount Google, but occasionally we get the odd visitor who finds us through the MSN Live search engine. But "Live" never seems to send us people who are looking for a place to stay on their holidays - instead, bafflingly, we get visitors who have ended up being sent to our site after searching for things like "naked" and "dick". Although I'd like to think that they stay to explore the romance of a week in the Dordogne, I supect that Rentability entirely fails to satisfy those particular customers.

    I think I've worked out what this is all about. After Live spiders your site they visit it pretending to be a normal web visitor referred from their search results to check that the page they see is the same as the page they spidered. This seems like a good idea for detecting spam sites.
