More than 80% of all is made up by Yahoo. Now I know that Yahoo recently started using several different IP addresses and thus the difference between Yahoo and Google web crawling isn't as big as it seems, but still...

A forum where I'm admin has the following hits from bots, according to number of requests made in September so far:

Yahoo! Slurp: 509
MSN: 109
Google: 51
Ask Jeeves: 3
Archive.org: 1

Yahoo easily outnumbers the rest combined.

Interesting discussion about it at http://www.ipsbeyond.com/forums/inde...howtopic=24698 (also contains link to a thread at Yahoo about it)

In case that first link requires logging in here's a link to the Yahoo page about it: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/...orer&fid=31431 and also a link to an article on digg http://www.digg.com/software/Yahoo_S...guest_tracking

So, is Yahoo just indexing webpages or are they adding unnecessary bandwidth to servers?
