I was checking my server logs today, I found this company
http://www.relevare.com/site/
their robot did an entire index of my web pages.
does anybody know whom it indexes for ?
or better, can anybody else confirm that they have them indexing thier servers also?

side note: I think this is the proper forum if not could the mod. move it.

From what I can tell it is a business only index and you have to be a client of relevare to get access to it.
If you click on "Quicknav" down at the bottom you can find alot more info about their spider called "bumblebee".
I personally have never seen this in my logs, but seems interesting :)

Well the reason I'm asking is that I was wondering if someone is monitoring my site for changes. if so Whom, the Why I already know.

p.s.
if anybody else gets it in thier log file, I can develope a profile of the firm requesting the info.

BumbleBee's been by to see us a few times, looks like once every two days or so.. but no idea why... :shrug: just wrote it off as one of the many odd search bots we see. ;)

Well... check on that IP: it seems to have no connection to yahoo.
Maybe it's another one to "write off," but personally I just banned the IP in my .htaccess. I don't realy care about Relevare because at least they are clear about who they are -- but this one seems to be trying to be deceptive.

Yes, this one has appeared in the logs over the last few days.

Yup, here is some info below. I just did a quick query on yesterday's log files, it seems to have spidered the entire website. They seem to have many different e-mail addresses.
IP: 209.126.176.3
Browser: Mozilla/4.0 research@yahoo.com
IP: 209.126.176.3
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 research@mediatrec.com
IP: 209.126.176.3
Browser: larbin_2.6.2 larbin2.6.2@unspecified.mail
There are several other addresses as well, but these were the first few.

I wouldn't worry about it, plus they have a great site. Maybe they'll send some customers your way? ;)
