Human-readable description |
This editor is used to define how Web Log Storming recognizes search engines and search texts. Compared to the editors previously described, this editor is slightly different - it contains four columns.
If found |
Part of referrer text that identifies a search engine. It's also used in reports as a human-readable name |
Search Query begins with |
Value name from referrer query that represents search text. For example, Google and MSN use "q" ("...?q=search+text") and Yahoo uses "p" ("...?p=search+text"). |
Result page nr. begins with |
(Optional) Value name from referrer query that represents result page number. For Google it's "start" ("...?...&start=20"). |
Page number divided with |
(Optional) Depending on the search engine, the page number value can represent the index of first visible result instead of the real page number. For example, if Google sends "start=20" in referrer text, it's actually 3rd and not 20th page. To correct this, enter 10 into this column.
In other words, here you should enter default number of results on one page used by the search engine. |
In this window you can enter parts of User Agents that identify them as a spider (bot, crawler). Note that not all spiders "behave" properly and that they sometimes introduce themselves as legitimate web browsers.

In addition to this method, Web Log Storming also considers all visitors that access the /robots.txt file as a spider.
