(Remember SMF detects most Google/Yahoo/MSN bots by default)

It appears that most sites offering spider/bot lists have tonnes of inactive ones. I'm putting together my own lists by detecting them in the wild on my own sites. Plus any that get reported to me (after I've checked them out).

So if there are any ACTIVE ones I'm missing? Please let me know in the support topic.

Installation
Any previous versions of the mod does NOT need to be uninstalled.
This mod adds a row for each spider in the database only. It will ignore adding ones which already exist.
No theme edits required. No language strings to translate or editing. It adds database rows only.

Install and your done.
Note: Click uninstall to remove the mod from your mod list. But it won't remove the spiders from your database. You'll need to remove each one from your SMF Search Engines/Spider section.

For manual installation, just upload AddMoreSpiders.php to your SMF directory and run it in your browser (then delete the file).

Got it.

[Joomlamz]

great Mod

[shadow82x]

Works fine on my board. Nice work.

[D.S]

I like your mod but I'm using  1.1.4

anyway , thank u karlbenson for effort

D.S

[coldy316]

will this mod work on the 1.1.4 boards? seems okay just disappointed that there
isnt one for the 1.1.4

[karlbenson]

No.
This mod only adds rows to the default 2.0 feature of search engine spider tracking.

However I use 1.1.4 on my own forum, and what I've done is used the spiders from this mod in the Googlebot & Spiders mod (replacing the existing spiders in that mod which may be a little out of date/doesn't detect the newer ones).
let me known if you want me to attach that as an attachment with some manual directions.

[edi67]

excellent as always

[D.S]

let me known if you want me to attach that as an attachment with some manual directions.

Yes, plz karlbenson if u can that , I wish to help us

D.S

[karlbenson]

Ok here it is attached with manual instructions.

There are a handful in here, not in the more spiders bot yet. I've been waiting to detect them on my forum.

Edit: Updated attachment 20th May 2008 - v1.2

[D.S]

thank u dude for help me ..

D.S

[karlbenson]

Let me know if there are any problems.

I've been using it on my forum for the past week without issue.
And have noticed all kinds of different crawlers/spiders/bots on my forum.

I've now seen about 90%+ of all these bots on my own forum.  Including some more.  Like a Russian SE spider.  Not sure why as my forum is entirely in English.

[sorosh1]

karlbenson do you have the same mod for SMF 1.1.4? Awesome mod by the way!;)

[karlbenson]

As stated above. Its 2.x only because ALL this mod does is add more rows of spiders to the default 2.0 feature of search engine spider tracking.

There is no such feature in 1.1.x.

However I use 1.1.4 on my own forum, and what I've done is used the spiders from this mod in the Googlebot & Spiders mod (replacing the existing spiders in that mod which may be a little out of date/doesn't detect the newer ones).
That is what I've attached further above.

[sorosh1]

ok thanks i will do the same then:)

[christicehurst]

Another great mod!

[karlbenson]

Thanks.

[RoarinRow]

Very cool, thank you!   

[coldy316]

whats the chances of you doing a version for 1.1.4 spiderbot updates but just the spiders only
something like an addon  to the 1.1.4 version..

[karlbenson]

I probably won't do it as a add-on mod to the googlebot mod.

But I'll continue to update the attached list (as long as my own forum remains at 1.1.4)
Its a single edit taking less than a minute to do.
