LiveSearch Analysis
For a few months now Microsoft's Live Search is leaving referral urls with one keyword in logfiles around the world. Such automated queries always include the string "form=QBHP" and are usually coming directly after the normal crawl bot. After a while watching this happen I noticed that the given keyword always has a relation to the page visited by the bot and is most likely one of the top keyword for this page. Today I started writing a small PHP script which logs the submitted keywords in a SQLite database and lists them for analysis. The script does a reverse lookup to confirm the identity of the bot. It can be downloaded here. Installation instructions included.
