Bot visits to sites.

[Sandy]

I was just wondering if there's any way of having the bots visiting our sites show on our nexad page? It's possibly a silly thought on my part, it may be something that can't reliably done with any degree of accuracy, but it would be interesting to see how many bots visit our sites on a daily/weekly/monthly basis just out of curiosity sake if nothing else.. I know your little bot does it's daily check to ensure the nexus bar is there and working, not sure how to solve this seeing I don't know the first thing about coding and such though.. Hopefully the nice Skyon fella has a few bright ideas..

I am sure it can be done since that data is already listed in the Statistics section of your NexAds CP.

Not sure what the value of that would be to viewers of your public page.

[Sandy]

Good point, I wonder if it could be done in with a profile section type thing only viewable by the page owner or advertiser?

NexAds CP. Click Statiistics button in the purple menu bar. Boom. It is there.

[Sandy]

I can see what bots have visited my ad, not my site.. :S

[Helena]

Oh, I see what you are after now.

Go to your Jcink AdminCP  > System Settings > Search Engine Spiders

You can enable them to show on your board there.

[Sandy]

They show if they visit, we've allowed all the bots on their list in the ACP, it'd be handy knowing how many bots a day/week/month visit though, the Jcink system doesn't seem to do that..

Archer is on a break currently, so probably the best thing would be to request a code from Cory on jCodes.

[Sandy]

If Cory did a code it wouldn't be able to be added to my Nexus stats would it?

[Helena]

In your first post, you are talking about knowing the bots that have visited your forum site. Thats the kind of code Cory would be able to help you with.

Archer may be able to beef up the bot reports in the NexusCP. We'll see what he has to say about it when he checks in next.
