Yahoo! Slurp Goes on Ad-Clicking Rampage?
Posted by nullbit on September 27, 2005, 1:14 am
A thread at WebmasterWorld, claims Slurp (Yahoo's search engine spider) has repeatedly been hitting a site owners website thousands of times over a short time-period, the interesting part is that all the hits referred from Overture ads:
On four separate days (all Thursday mornings) we had Slurp bombarding our site for about an hour with over 1000 requests, all of these being referrals from our Overture Ads
At least one other WMW member confirmed experiencing the same issue. Search Engine Roundtable mentions that the ads don't appear to be charged to anyone.
