Finding reason for visits

[pcunix]

OK. I give up

This page ( Pentium Pro Processor System Architecture-A.P. Lawrence-Book Reviews ) gets an incredibly high number of page views day after day - that is, incredibly high because I can see no reason for it.

As far as I know, no pages link to this.

My logs never show any referrer info so although that page does rank well for certain searches, no referrer info means they didn't come from search.

Most are not getting anything but the page itself.. that is, the logs show only the GET of the page: none of the associated graphics. Consequently these don't show up in Analytics (because they don't get the javascript).

Always the browser info is the same.

A typical example:

72.202.136.17 - - [17/Feb/2008:19:41:44 +0000] "GET /Books/ppro.html HTTP/1.1" 200 23357 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

$ grep 72.202.136.17 access* | wc -l
1
$ grep 72.202.136.17 err*
$

Most accesses are unique, unrepeated. Once in a while they'll re-get the page, but usually not. When they do, it's often a pattern like this:

72.81.14.10 - - [15/Feb/2008:02:38:39 +0000] "GET /Books/ppro.html HTTP/1.1" 200 23257 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"
72.81.14.10 - - [15/Feb/2008:19:26:28 +0000] "GET /Books/ppro.html HTTP/1.1" 200 23307 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"
72.81.14.10 - - [16/Feb/2008:00:12:26 +0000] "GET /Books/ppro.html HTTP/1.1" 200 23375 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

IP addresses are all over the map, literally. Even just the first octet for this month so far covers 99 numbers from 4 through 222 .

So what is this or how would I go about trying to find out? Yes, it's just idle curiosity..

I see this post here: Strange log entries
which describes the same browser string (but different behavior).

So the page is getting spidered a lot?
