No-one?
I know ask jeeves isn't good but I want to know how many pages they have in their index since they are continually spidering my site and are using almost a gig of bandwidth a month.
I want to know if it's worth it or if I should block their spider.

I don't know the size of their index, but what is more important is the number of searches per day. Google gets about 130 million per day while Ask only gets around 4 million searches per day. Shouldn't receive too much traffic from Ask.

Thanks for the reply SEO_AM
I know I wouldn't get many people coming from there I am just trying to find out if they are actually adding my pages to their index or just using up a huge amount of bandwidth for no reason.
If I can check how many pages they have in their index this will tell me, I know how many they have spidered.
Do you know the command for this?
I tried the usual site:domain but no joy...

I did some quick research but could not come up with the size of the Ask index. Sorry.
Thanks man
You get the definate feeling that your normal response is the correct one!
Oh well, I searched using a phrase that occurs on most pages and found 1 indexed.
Not bad out of 288,000 crawled by their spider and 2 gig used last month?

Per the spidering...is it really eating up that much bandwidth to consider banning it?
Hi Cygnus
Thanks for the reply
I still only get my index page show in their results.
They spidered 330,000 pages in december and used 3 gig of bandwidth. It's the fact that they only have 1 page in their index that pis*es me off, so that's why I considered banning them. :-?
I did read somwhere though the other day that they can take a few months to add pages to their index, so I might hang on and see.
It isn't so much the bandwidth as the principal of the thing... :-(
