Form Mailers

[Larry B]

Any of you with form mailers on your website noticing a bunch of stupid A$$ messages getting sent in by YahooBot & GoogleBot :?:

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

You mean a form that can be filled out and sent back to your email ?

nope, I don't get any spam through mine and if I start I will just add a capta thingy to it.

Thats what I talkin about


The last few weeks we have got a few emails every day from googles and yahoos bot crawling the site.

Never had that till a few weeks ago

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

Google bot is sending you emails? what do the emails say?

 

[Larry B]

Its just a bunch of scambled numbers & letters and in the name spot it shows up as whos bot it was. In one of the fields it always has something like "Have a nice day" or "Nice Web Site"


If you do a google search on the IP numbers that it was sent from it also comes up that its the search engine bots doing it.

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

That is very strange, well at least you know the bots are crawling your site.

Its been alot here in the last month. We use siteground for hosting and you can see on the monthly report they crawl it all the time now.

Guess Ill contact support and see if they know why this stuff with the forms has started happening.
