Here's something a little bit interesting on the web. This company, internetseer.com, is constantly hitting my site and others ostensibly to get web uptime statistics. Seems pretty harmless, but it does tend to fill up web logs pretty quickly. I don't know why their bot is set to visit this site 20 times a day, so I ended up blocking it. Yesterday, I received an email from one of their sales reps more or less saying, "Hi, we noticed your site was down last night, for x amount of dollars we can monitor it and sell you uptime statistics!!!" Which of course can be done for free locally. This is spam, these people are spammers. May google seaches with sitecheck.internetseer.com end up here. Avoid these bandwidth wasting spammers.
