When the bots come at night . . .

I like stats. I like watching live raw log files and I like staring at graphs. Recently I discovered another killer plug in for WordPress – “Crawl Rate Tracker“. This is one of the best jewels that I’ve ever seen. For log addicts.

So, what does it do? Crawl Rate Tracker logs search engines data, recording details of their visit. When Yahoo or Google comes to your site, the plugin records what page they visit when etc. So, after a while, you can have a nice graph like this:

Also, if you’re logged on, there is a small icon under each blog post and if you click on it, it will show stats on when this page was visited by search engines. It is very cool and highly recommended.

I had to remove Technorati and add Yandex instead. For some reason, this particular site is under a close attention from Yandex – the Russian search engine.
