Re: Google is Leeching Bandwidth!
Google is NOT the devil!! Google makes MY internet what it is. "Instant access to Information"
I have the Google Toolbar installed and the entire world is a few keystrokes away.
Google Rules. Yahoo drooles.
(OK, well THAT was just plain infantile of me, wasn't it...)

Re: Google is Leeching Bandwidth!
Some people complained about searchbots, consuming their bandwidth. As I understand properly used robots.txt can prevent this.

Re: Google is Leeching Bandwidth!
Also see Google's own information page about their webcrawler:
http://www.google.com/bot.html
It's possible to set a config file (robots.txt) that keeps Googlebot from accessing certain things. |

Re: Google is Leeching Bandwidth!
Well how do you do an advanced search with google.
Every time I type "OBJECT OF SEARCH" I get an error.
When I just do a search for OBJECT OF SEARCH, I get all these pages that have nothing to do with my search.

Re: Google is Leeching Bandwidth!
Actually, Google is completely rebuilding thier search database from the ground up by spidering the entire internet. This comes after the huge failure of thier 'Florida' index rebuild, they chose to simply re-spider everything and launch a new engine with it.
I should point out the biggest user of Google at the moment is MSN spidering google's results.
So for all you web masters, get your meta tags in order !
