I was just perusing my sitelogs and noticed one IP number had 3,007 page hits on one of my sites -- all in a five-hour period. About thirty per minute with a couple of breaks, between 7:00 PM and 11:45 PM EDT on March 1st. IP number 80.174.76.41. Someone in Madrid, Spain. Golly!
I was wondering if anyone here takes any precautions on their sites. Do you have code that "catches" crawlers, and if it's not Google or a common / known crawler do you block them from accessing your site, or at least slow them down a little? I don't mind having a spike in my stats, but only if it's real. Thoughts? I think I've asked this question before, but couldn't find it in the archives.
