Got an interesting call this morning.

This guy read my article in Website Magazine so went to check out our site and had what I thought was an interesting question.

He asked if we somehow throttled or filtered the search engine spiders so they could only visit his site a certain number of times per day.

I was certain that I must have misunderstood the question, but apparently not. He told me he has dealt with hosts that would only let Googlebot hit his site a maximum of six times a day.

I have never heard of such a thing. Have you?
