Generally we only get one visitor from Croatia to our UK based website, a guy (presumably) who turns up every now and then and just clicks on all of the main pages and links. This kind of skews the traffic data slightly which is a minor inconvencience, but I presume that whatever he's doing is malicious and that there must be more to it than simply disrupting the data reports. Does this kind of behaviour seem familiar to anyone else out there? What is he playing at?
Its a bot not a human. There are many of them.
It could be looking for content to scrape or emails to harvest or simply recording all urls.
Check the IP address and you'll probably find it's a Hosting platform.
If you have specific page tracking and logging you will notice that it does many pages (10-20) per second ...
Probably a bot...search for links...or steal your images/content or search for vulnerable code on your page...
Simple,block it!
Yey,Gooner was a sec faster :)
Thanks, I wasn't sure that it was a bot because it targets specific pages, the reviews and the gateway pages, and stays on each page for about a minute before moving on.
It could be a human person too, looking for content to (steal/re-write/translate/use as inspiration).
Copy an interesting paragraph, and pop it into Google. That should show up any sites that have nicked your content.
All clear so far, don't know how I could easily check for translations though..
