When i'm checking my apache log I can see that baidu has been crawling my website 10 times a day for the last 2 weeks.It's not that i care much about it but I'm really curious about why he's doing this.It's a really small single page website with not much incoming links.Is there any reason behind that?220.181.108.169 [10/Mar/2012:10:41:29 +0100] GET / ...

Why does baidu crawl my site like crazy
seo;web crawlers;baidu
It doesn't sound like something you should worry about too much, google crawls some of my sites in a similar way, but it could be a fake bot, so check out the links below...The Baidu Spider FAQ's (Chrome's built in translation) have this to say:- 4. Why Baiduspider crawls my site continuously? In order to ensure the latest information is presented, Baiduspider crawls new pages or pages  frequently renewed at your site. Please check the log to see whether  the crawling from Baiduspider is reasonable.To avoid the excess crawling by spammers or other trouble makers who  pretend to be Baiduspider, you can check the log. When you find any  abnormal crawling, please inform us at spiderhelp@baidu.com and  provide the log of Baiduspider.Baidu does offer it's own version of webmaster tools (chrome's translation function will be needed when accessing the tools themselves) perhaps signing up for them might yield some answers. Google WMT offers limited ability to manage crawl rate, perhaps their tool offers some similar functionality.
