msnbot-157-55-39-241.search.msn.com was being blocked for this reason:
Redmond, United States was blocked for Accessed a banned URL.
However, hits from this host:
msnbot-40-77-167-41.search.msn.com (Boydton, United States) were not blocked.
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas why this might happen?
Thanks,
Steve

Can you help me?
How can I add new search engine to your plugin or Google Analytics?

Can someone please answer this?

]]>MSN bot (and to a smaller extent, google bot) have been crawling my site for the last week every day between 10AM and 3PM PST. The # of requests coming from MSN bot makes the # of requests to my site spike 300% – 400% and my server cannot handle it and it’ll eventually cause me to get a lot of intermittent ERROR CONNECTING TO DATABASE until after it stops hammering my site. Additionally, a lot of the requests are trying to hit an erroneous URL (a link to a post with an extra ” at the end of the URL which is invalid) which is causing a bunch of 404 errors in my logs.
I guess my questions at this time are:
– Does anyone have any ideas about or solutions to why MSN is crawling like this, and if there’s anything I can do to alleviate the problem? Any similar experiences?
– Where does this erroneous URL come from? Does MSN / Bing use some kind of sitemap file where they might be getting a bad URL?
So far, I’ve tried adding a “crawl-delay: 1” parameter to my robots.txt and it hasn’t seemed to help much (at least not yet).
Does anyone have any similar experiences or any advice?
Thanks

]]>Your sitemap is being refreshed at the moment. Depending on your blog size this might take some time! Due to limitations of the WordPress scheduler, it might take another 60 seconds until the build process is actually started.
Manual sitemap update works just fine.
