I am not getting any visits from any of the search engines--or at least that what is says in the bot management panel--I have added many of the addresses.--i did get some spiders a few months ago
actaully looks like the visits stopped when I changed to .info from .com
can anyone explain??

If you changed your web address, then the spiders (or bots) will not automatically know this.
If you still have your old domain name, then I would leave files with the same name of the files that were indexed before, with hard coded links to your new site.
Make sure you have your Meta info set correctly, have the bots index all, and return in 15 days is usually a good setting for a public site.
The best thing you can do is just promote your new site address, do some link exchanges, submit to search engines, and wait.
It took a long time before bots really started indexing my site, and now I cant keep up with them... <img>

I Seem to get lists of Inktomi ones to add all the time - with so many different ip's. Anybody know why i get so many of them and google/ msn seem to be added automatically. Do they work a different system ?
