Search engine IPs

Last week I was wondering how many of the users on www.mirc.net that was real users and how many was webcrawlers.

I wrote some basic code checking user-agent and IP on everyone connecting to www.mirc.net, added it into a database and now sorting them live. I’ve added known search engine user-agents to a database and if anyone is connecting and is matching that user-agent the IP is sorted in under the correct search engine.

From old experience i knew that Google was indexing us the most, and that Google is the search engine that sends us the most visitors, yet Google has as of today connected with 4 different IPs and Yahoo from 1160 different IPs, why?

My new project

A few weeks ago I managed to get my hands on a new domain – gamelife.se. I’ve started to develop a new swedish  gaming site, at the same time as I code this site I’m building a general portal system I can use again for my future web sites, It is pretty interesting to build a brand new portal from start, I’ve learned so much new since I build my last portal so this time I will hopefully do it the right way from the start.

Hardest part with starting this new game site is to get the gamenews, I’ve signed up for multiple game newsletters but seems the publishers press contacts are a bit slow to reply or maybe throw my emails in the trash.

I hope to have the portal finished for october 1st and give the only major gamewebsite in swedish (fragzone) some competition.
