While doing my log review, I noticed a fairly large amount of traffic (something in the neighborhood of 100 visits this month) from a single IP # (64.242.88.50).
In looking a bit harder, I've discovered that this ip resolves into one owned(?) by Looksmart.
Has anybody else noticed this, and if so, do you know what it is. Regular traffic or is this a spider, or something completely different?
Thanks
Cory

Hi chensen,
Here's my log entry on my robots.txt from that IP. It looks like it's a dead link checker. So yes, it is a robot from LookSmart/WiseNut. The normal spider appears to come in on IP 64.242.88.10 and 216.88.158.142. The one you saw appears to be a dead link checker in particular.

Looksmart (aka wisenutbot.com) is doing a lot of heavy crawling right now. They're supposed to be going into the niche directory arena, so I'm assuming that that's why they're doing it.
