IBP spider simulator

Anyone got experience of this? It conflicts alarmingly with the Lynx

hey.....wouldn't be the only dumb software out there.

For one thing it doesn't send the same accept headers as the googlebot
so the results may differ from what gb sees.

If your site is serving up different content to the Googlebot,
you are risking being banned from Google.

It's a joke. Especially those weird statistics. I hope nobody thinks if the

As a browser, no. I use it now and then :-)
