All Traffic by Type

The All Traffic by Type report shows the number of page views in the selected time period, broken down by type of visit (human, bots, feeds, suspicious, spam).

Most Active Crawler

The “Most Active Crawlers” report includes the total number of requests (page views) made by a crawler or bot, the User Agent identifying the bot or crawler, and the country from which the IP number originated from. GeoIP data must be installed and updated before the country information is available. Logaholic captures most bots, but if the bot uses a regular browser user agent (e.g Mozilla/MSIE6.0), Logaholic may not identify it as a crawler/bot.

Bots and Crawlers are software programs that visit your web site. They appear like normal visitors, following links on your pages, but since requests generated by bots are not actually viewed by a real visitor, we don't include these requests in reports where Logaholic lists page views or Visitors.

The most common crawler to your site is likely to be Googlebot (in several variations). Activity on your site from Googlebot is good news because it means that your web pages are being indexed in the Google search engine! It may also be helpful to note that Mediapartners-Google is the crawler Google Adsense uses to determine relevant ads for your webpage.

This report will also show you if search engine crawlers (also called spiders) can find all of your pages. If you don't see any activity on certain pages you want indexed, make sure there are enough regular links on other sites leading to those pages.

There are some bots that you want on your site, like Google's. But others may have shady intentions, like automatically capturing your site content or spambots searching for your customers' e-mail addresses. Some Bots like “Snoopy” are software programs anyone can run, so keep an eye out for bots that may be putting an unnecessary load on your server. Any Bot, good or bad, can cause havoc on your server if it gets caught in a loop.

Crawler Trends

The “Crawler Trends” report provides you with information about the frequency of crawler activity for the different crawlers on your site, including the top ten most active crawlers.

It is helpful to know which crawlers are most active on your pages, because ultimately the crawlers determine your site's ranking on SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages). Therefore you need to make sure that the crawlers you want (such as GoogleBot) crawl the pages you want. In some cases you might want to keep some pages (for instance, your site statistics) hidden from crawlers. Seeing which pages are regularly crawled can help you determine which pages to keep hidden.

Bandwidth

The traffic on your website consumes server capacity. The “Bandwidth” report ensures that you know exactly how much data has been used. Numbers are presented in Megabytes (MBs).
