Unusual crawling : Please help

Hi,

I am having an unusual problem on my site...suddenly my traffik raised up...but i would n't find any real visitors on my

site...According to me it is somethin ghosty thing rendering my site without any user-agent & other info...

The IPs are something like this


38.98.19.105
38.98.19.96
38.98.19.109
38.98.19.101
38.98.19.83
38.98.19.123


The actual point i want to tell is my actual visitors are only 40 per day but Now I m getting over a 500 unique visitors a

day which is unusual...this IP range varie from 0 to 255 values(Last IP bits) ...


See this is not a bots problem the thing i want to know is this some search engine's updation taking place...or this are the

bluddy scrappers who are taking data from your site...has anyone ever had faced this kind of problem...

This looks like it is a scraper. I'd say that someone's ripping off your content, probably grabbing it from your site each time that their site gets a hit.

Best thing to do is to ban that IP range from your site. Get your hosting company to do this, or your your server admin people will be able to block these for you.
