Thanks a lot Simon :up: ... I still have same problem with Baidu

... I have checked my raw access log today and still having loads of Baidu spiders in my site 48 hours after installing the mod

... this is how they appear in my log file:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Baiduspider/2.0; +http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html)
Any recommendations?
Regarding Alexa, I have certified my site and have pasted their javascript code in the header of my forum as they recommend so they can analyse my website traffic directly regardless of visitors with/without alexa toolbar ... I don't know if my alexa rank will drop due to drop in the overall visitor numbers after banning spiders?
Regards
