Why is MSNBot attempting to access "/cp/alaadmin/blockemail/index.cgi?exDomainPackageID=2671&exLanguage=english" on my server? I have no clue where it would pick up a link like that to spider... that's part of the Alabanza control panel (you'd have to be logged in to use it), plus my server is a CPanel server, not Alabanza... Has anybody else seen odd requests from MSN's new bot?

Do you have it linked anywhere? MSN bot will not just randomly enter that url. It had to be linked and it is attempting to archive it. I think :)

i am getting stomped by both msn and google.

and i have no idea why.

when i log into my admin for one of my forums, it shows almost 100 google bots live at once. and it is constant.

something must be wrong...

I have seen most of the bots try to access pages that are not on our site/server.

I don't know where there pulling from.

I just let them do their thing though.

Lauren, there probably deep crawling your site. I know quite a few bots have trouble sometimes in forums, they go in a constant loop and can't get out :D

i just pulled this off my admin... i dont know how it can be that google is "posting". how do i make this stop?

I think this because you have granted guest posting on your forum, the msn bot tryed to do that on my forum to
but i dont allow guest posting on my forums
you should disable such features for guest
trying doing that and it wont post :)

I think the bots are going crazy.

You are using phpBB and default phpBB is not very good with SEO. It adds session id to url if browser doesn't support cookies, and googlebot/msnbot don't support cookies so you get lots of urls like index.php?sid=123456789 or viewtopic.php?t=1&sid=123456 with different session ids.

I suggest to install one of SEO mods for phpBB. You'll find lots of such mods on phpbb.com
