  • Check the user agents. Technorati’s spider has a specific useragent, anything else is real users.

    Thanks for the reply masquerade

    when you say “useragent” are you refering to the spiders name?

    if so, do you know what technorati’s spiders name is?

    I use AW Stats and under “refering sites” I’ve got things like:

    https://techorati.com/tags/dogs/
    https://techorati.com/tags/cats/

    as I’ve previously mentioned… but if you goto to those url’s you get error messages… they dont actually exists

    also there is nothing obvious under “robots/spider visitors”… the only odd one listed is “BaiDuSpider” whoever that is lol

    any help would really be appreciated

    I’m not trying to be pedantic, but are the referrals from technorati.com or (as in your previous post) techorati.com

    If it’s technorati.com (with an N), the referring pages definitely exist (go to Technorati.com, then Tags, and type in ‘cats’).

    If it’s techorati.com (without an N) then it’s referrer spam, as that site is a link farm (some blogs put up a list of ‘recent referrers’, so its for the same reasons as comment spam).
