I actually already had this post written then accidentally deleted it while I was fiddling round inside my blog – the agony 
The point of the post was that I, in my internet travels, came across a cool [tag]wordpress[/tag] plugin that I thought I’d share with ya…
It’s called Crawl Rate Tracker (or something) and basically allows you to view the activity of search engines spiders on your site, from inside your wp-admin (rather than having to login to your control panel.
More than that, it graphs your spider activity nicely, to individual pages, and also shows you the links each page has coming back that are potentially generating the activity.
The frequency of spider visits can be an indicator of a [tag]search engine[/tag]s trust of your site, so to have the data laid out like this plugin does, and right from in your admin, is pretty cool.
Oh and you’ll learn some interesting things about your blog too, I have already.

Qoool info – will check out that plugin soon! I use Wassup….it’s another plug-in that allows you to see what and which search engines are spidering.
I used this plugin in the past but I did not pay attention the search engine activity
on my site or even bothered to track and test to see whether there was a difference in using this technique or not. Particularly, I used the Technorati tags plugin which seemed to work pretty decent, as I was told.
P.S. I noticed that your post are not showing the ‘tags’ correctly, eg: [tag]search engine[/tag]. Maybe you didn’t enter it in the HTML editor or the plugin may be deactivated?
