Unfortunately, I also have seen the CustomScoop spider completely screw up site stats because it also ignored robots.txt. Since most search engines seem to be able to respect robots.txt I have to question CustomScoop’s services. Possibly they have great customer service but possibly they’re making up for questionable spidering.

We are starting a comparable buzz marketing company that focuses on small and medium businesses. Right now we are working as an agency, so we find relevant online conversations for our clients and join the conversation. Essentially, we say what you would say but in our own voice. It’s so important to be part of conversations about your company and industry that we are trying to make it more doable for those companies that don’t have the time or knowledge to do it themselves.

We are really excited for the consumer version of our software that will be more cost effective for those companies that want to self serve.

[...] So who are they? Well, a search of the whois database on network solutions, where they registered their domain name late last year, found that the owners are Griffin Strategy Group, LLC who list an email address at eoutreach.com as their contact and a non-sense contact phone number of 999 999 9999. Searching based on the listed zipcode + “Griffin” I found this page which seamingly ties netvocate to a profile on iKarma for Chip Griffin, Chief Innovation Officer at CustomScoop, a trademark of “eOutreach Solutions, LLC”. Which leads me to a biography of Chip who also has his own blog here. Customschoop has actually been featured in TechCrunch and in this post on Micro Persuasion who, I reckon, don’t have a clue that Chip is also involved in a company like NetVocates. [...]

The more I use CustomScoop the more I like it. The email updates with clippings are excellent and they are digging up stuff I am not finding elsewhere.

I’ve been testing CustomScoop for some time and I must say their customer service is very professional and friendly.

Alas, one issue that wasn’t solved was their spiderbot. I noticed a sharp increase of additional traffic coming from 64.49.241.218. Turned out it was their spider robot. It was hitting my server pretty hard and didn’t respect robots.txt at all. Neither was it session aware causing endless crawlings on my PHP-based pages. I e-mailed Bob from CustomScoop about it but never heard back from him.

As a consequence I had to ban their spider is banned from my servers.
