Whos Online Weird Links from Yahoo Slurp, only since installing Simple SEO addon

Hi Zenners,

I have been noticing recently that when viewing whos online through admin i have been noticing weird links (inparticular when visited by yahoo bot) such as:

/bmz_cache/amazing-cover-letter-creator-torrent.html

Now i know that bmz_cache is part of image handler and whenever i click on the links i get 404 page not found and there is nothing in the bmz cache folder relating to any html documents.

I also only started to see these weird links when i installed simple SEO.

Anyone have any idea of what this could be?

Have you tried posting the issue at the Image Handler support thread??

Else, you should check the doc for IH.

amazing-cover-letter-creator-torrent.html << do you have such a file anywhere on your site?

If not, could be people looking for a (hacker) file they thought was uploaded to your 'images' dir., which is now using the 'bmz' dir.

I dont think there is such a file on the server well i dont think there is what the best way to search the entire web directory (public_html)?

It seems that its only ever search engine bots in particuar yahoo???

Here is another one:

If you know you didn't create the file then no sense searching for it.

All in all, I wouldn't be too worried. Many people / hackers look for files that were never on a site; but they don't know that.

The only thing that concerns me is that it always seems to be the yahoo search bot?
