I'm curious ... Googlebot, Yahoo Slurp, and now CazoodleBot (based on

Googlebot and Slurp, too ?? Hey, we're in a pretty good company! ;)

Nutch) are hitting our site at http://www.nines.org and I get all sorts of invalid links crawled. Is our site doing something wrong in our markup? Or are all these crawlers flawed by hitting non-sensible URLs?

This is a side-effect of an unsophisticated method for extracting URLs from Javascript files - the extractor takes "likely" strings and tries to build absolute URLs out of them. In may cases the strings have nothing to do with URLs.
