Interesting the title, right? :). Interesting probably for those who manage a webhosting site or server (especially webhosting).
Qihoo is a search engine used in China , somewhat synonymous with Yahoo! Search that displays results in Chinese, probably well selected . The technology that China has in the IT field I think is a little fast for some webhosting servers. A boot Read on a site approximately 480 pages in a minute and generates a little traffic a little big for a modest webhosting package. This muzzle I think has an orientation problem :). It does not reach the real pages in the site, most of the hit 404 (Document Not Found). “Stupid, but many !!!” .
For several days I have been haunted on a site by such a zombie who knows enough to make their presence felt. Until April 12, 2007, traffic (bandwidth) on the site “victim” did not exceed more than 59 – 60 MB / day. After April 13 (what day with luck …) traffic reached over 500 MB/day, reaching April 19 to 714.79 MB.
A server statistics:
IP qihoo : 220.181.34.185
Pages : 159965
Hits : 159965
Bandwidth : 4.38 GB
Last visit : 24 Apr 2007 – 09:48
Good. If this bot in ~ 12 days managed to make me one by one almost 4.5 GB traffic , that would mean that for someone who uses a Romanian webhosting package becomes a real “business” . The man has to get out of his pocket at least 10 euros / month for webhosting just to pay the traffic made by Qihoo. For example, here: Blue-Host.ro/ the 10 euro/ month pack includes 10GB traffic. I don't think anyone wants to pay so much money to be indexed by a Chinese search engine.
Good. I got rid of a visit to a pione of Bot Seo and I did not rely at all on his ability to read the file robots.txt . I am not interested in having the sites listed/indexed in a Chinese search engine. It is possible that the muzzle does not understand the SEO file of a site and I have chosen another way to explain it more clearly what it has to do. : D rewriting the file .htaccess from webroot to block access:
order allow,deny
deny from 220.181.34.185
allow from all
Apache / Deny directive
Syntax: Deny from all|host|env=env-variable [host|env=env-variable] …
Context: directory, .htaccess
Override: Limit
Status: Base
Module: mod_accessThis directive allows access to the server to be restricted based on hostname, IP address, or environment variables. The arguments for the
Denydirective are identical to the arguments for the Allow directive.
Goodbye, qihoo.com !
China has made the decision to completely eliminate self -censorship Google from their market? I write this because I remembered some discussions that had appeared through the press some time ago.
An article written in Ziarul Financiar on January 26, 2006 :
If a few days ago, Google was holding the first page of newspapers because it opposed the US government to protect its users, now Google complies with the Chinese government and censors its website. But things are not how they seem at first sight. China Internet users who will try to access the page www.google.com will be automatically redirected to the page censored by Google.
The censorship of the site will be provided by the Google China team in collaboration with the Chinese authorities. As the mechanism of the censure system of the Chinese government is not public, there is no list of what will be censored.
