My initial thought was perhaps it's a browser accelerator like FasterFox, but then you would probably notice some patterns based on browsers. Also you'd probably see more than just the root being requested. Where are your ads coming from - same server? What kind of pages are they? Perhaps if you post the actual logs we can have more insight. -Victor On 7/27/06, Keith A <sunken@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
I am new to this site and have been reading through all the information presented here, but my search didn't answer my question. I run my site on an apache server and I have access to the raw apache logs. Lately I've been analyzing these by hand to see a more complete picture of where traffic is currently coming from/search etc. rather than the monthly summary that Webalizer gives you. Anyway, if a visitor comes in to the site (and it apparently matters little which browser) from the index page, it records like 4-5 entries for that index page (GET / with the same IP as the original request, but no referer after the initial request), one right after the other a couple of seconds apart. Then if the visitor from that IP goes to any other page (which logs normally), another 4-5 entries for the index page (again GET / with no referer) are written into the log. This seems to happen for every page they go to. It doesn't happen for everyone, just certain people, I'd say maybe 5%-10% of the traffic. We do ads on impressions, so what I am curious about is if this is normal behavior and whether the ads are being run each time (javascript). There is no other resulting entries with the GET / commands (as in image loads, etc), just the multiple lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated in knowing whether I'm just being paranoid or this is something that is on my server and what to do about it, if anything?
