Google DOS'ed me

Mar 14, 2005 17:46

For some reason, google has hit my blog hard in the last couple of days. My blog is hosted on a 2gig of traffic per month plan, and each month, I normally use just over 1 gig of that. If you look at my blog today though, you will notice I've exceeded my bandwidth limit.

That is because google single handedly used up 1.4 gig of bandwidth in the last 48 hours. The googlebot went mad, and instead of the average 4000 hits I get from it each month, I've got 40,000 hit so far, and I'm only half way through the month. So my blog is down for the count until the quota resets, or I fork over some more money to get a better plan. I have real issues forking over hard cash because of google's fuckup though...

*sigh*
