So, you have read in your WWWLOG files that a Fonts101 Bot
was on your website. Basically this crawler is used to search various search
engines and find new links for fonts or fonts related websites. Once the website
is found it is passed on to the second crawler to search for TTF / ZIP files on
the website using advanced algorithms developed by help of many people and
newsgroups, blogs, etc.
So, all fonts which are found are stored in a folder, and reviewed by myself or
some friends for duplicates or copyrighted fonts or anything misleading. And
then added to our database. Our robot does not visits the website more than
twice a month. So if you are getting hits from our robot more than that please
let us know with your website URL so we can figure out the issues.
The Fonts 101 Bot has been successfully running since February 2004, without any
major errors, and hopefully will run till this website lives. |
