#googleother — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #googleother, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Business as usual. #Google users (cloud platform) and #GoogleOther trying to scrape one of our sites. Googlebot forms a tiny minority of hits from that company; almost everything else, whether from Google or from its users, is dodgy. Why would anyone wish to be amongst this lot?

  2. No way are the #GoogleOther bots legit if they slam a site with this frequency. Dodgy #Google.

  3. @jackyan I suspect they created #GoogleOther to break the crawling / robots.txt / nettiquette rules without getting too many repurcusions on #GoogleBot.
