Of interest.
Given that Expression Engine (my new CMS here) gives a ‘total’ tally for the site itself, as well as requests on individual templates, I can tell you that this joint gets 13,586 requests in 24 hours on a Friday (historically, a slow day for dm!). The CMS contains nearly 16,000 entries, not including my four years of HTML hand-code files which contain an equal if not higher number of individual entries, outside of the CMS.
The total reflects both people, spiders and whatnot ... but mostly spiders. Obviously, I need to dive into stats and prune away some search engines again, or at least rein in their trolling habits. Google Images has been ignoring my robots.txt over the last month, so I need to give them a swift whack in the head.
Just thought that if this is happening to me, others might want to peek at their stats and start fishing out some of the more egregious bandwidth lampreys for the new year.
