    I have yahoo and a few other engines regularly spider the site for info.

    However I have a few that I don't know about and don't seems
    like legit bots.

    Anyone know what this is?

    222.231.21.122
    Yeti

    I can't find any info on a yeti client or bot.

    According to Neotrace it originates in Korea, unfortunately I don't have the full version so that's as far as I could get.

    So it's an asian search engine.

    For some reason the new beta bots for google, yahoo, msn and a lot of other
    search engines are on the site a lot.


    The site ranks very high in search results so I am guessing it has to do with that as well.
