Can someone please explain to me why Microsoft/Bing are spidering sites in large volume, from 65.55.0.0, and not identifying themselves as a bot/spider in their user agent?
While you’re at it…. explain what sort of impact this has on perceived conversion rates when the conversion:impression ratio ends up being a million miles apart.
Here’s a handy piece of code for your stats install (if running inhouse or AWStats or something similar):
<Directory "/path-to-stats-stuff">
Order deny,allow
Deny from 65.55.0.0/255.255.0.0
Allow from all
</Directory>

Interesting… and no Richard.. for once this is NOT SPAM!! lol I came across this today too – http://searchengineland.com/bing-continues-with-fake-referrers-what-part-of-stop-dont-they-understand-24589
Pretty interesting.
i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.
(EDIT by Richard – I don’t appreciate spam. I’ve had this exact same comment, word-for-word, for a different URL. Go get a real job.
P.S. your arthritis cure link or whatever it was has been deleted.)
