Yahoo! Search Crawler, Slurp, is moving

Thanks for the update!

Thanks Priyank, are there significant changes apart from the change in domain name?

great stuff I glad I found out that! good luck with the change yahoo!

Thanks for the information.. It’s very useful.

Thanks a lot for the information.

thanks for the update, i have blogged it in.

Hi, good to know.

Is it possbile to know why this change? Something ralated with new crawling system?

Thanks for information. Hope that information current improvement or change will be available continue.

This is OK that “user-agent will continue to be Yahoo! Slurp”. Otherwise lots of seo have to change their website’s robot.txt file.

Thanks Priyank

Thanks for the info.

Does that mean you’ll be fixing Slurp so it won’t attack my site like a DOS attack anymore? Currently, I have hundreds of Slurps attacking my servers. Pretty much business as usual.

I like my site being indexed, but certainly you can do better. Google does it with just a few bots at a time. And, Google does a far, far, faaaaar better job of indexing the site with less resources.

Thanks for heads up!!!

I searched a long time for such an great article. Thank you

Thank for the Info !

Yes truly great article

Thanks for the info!

Thanks sir!

This is a very useful info for webmaster. Thanks.

God bless yahoo!

Thanks, it’s great to see this change, now I can be sure those bots are yours. Will the bots now be more efficient in crawling sites?

I’m not sure about anyone else, but I’ve seen the bots crawling more often lately. Lets keep it that way.

what’s the user agent of your mobile crawler please?
