Hello I have just launched a web application that does not attract a big trafic so far. Lets say 30 visits a day. My website has a lot of images (> 10.000) and connections between images so far i have spent a huge amount of Money on Fronted Instance Hours (150 USD a month). Thanks to other chats et searches, i think i pretty much know the principle behind the frontend instance hours.
what i dont understand however is that i have been told that the crawlers might be responsible for that. Does it mean the other instance hours are opened when crawlers come into my webapp ? At the beginning i remember that analytics credited the web app with 17.000 visits a day (after search, i realized that the 17.000 visits came from crawlers). i must precise that overs the last 2 months, the price i paid for Frontend Instance Hours has been pretty much the same (around 4$ a day) So far i have reduces the number of Idle Instances to the minimum, which is ok on my bill @ the end of the month My questions : High Frontend Instance Hours : is it really due to crawlers ? does it mean that the more google crawls my website, the more it makes me pay ? Analytics : is it common that analytics registers crawler visits ? Thanks for your help ! M. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
