So here is an example of a hit I'm getting from the googlebot:
66.249.73.171 - - [19/Feb/2013:16:12:39 -0500] "GET /eghm-blah.php?pid=2855 HTTP/1.1" 200 1684 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
My posts are setup to increment the pid
for new posts...however the highest pid
I have is 13. The googlebot has been slowly incrementing the page numbers and looking for new posts. When it makes the access attempt it will not 404 as eghm-blah.php
will display a message that it can't find your post.
Is there anyway to stop googlebot from hitting my server multiple times per day looking for pid's which don't exist?
