Abstract
Web log mining is the extraction of web logs to analyze user behaviour at web sites. In addition to user information, web logs provide immense information about search engine traffic and behaviour. Search engine crawlers are highly automated programs that periodically visit the web site to collect information. The behaviour of search engines could be used in analyzing server load, quality of search engines, dynamics of search engine crawlers, ethics of search engines etc. The time spent by various crawlers is significant in identifying the server load as major proportion of the server load is constituted by search engine crawlers. A temporal analysis of the search engine crawlers were done to identify their behaviour. It was found that there is a significant difference in the total time spent by various crawlers. The presence of search engine crawlers at web sites on hourly basis was also done to identify the dynamics of search engine crawlers at web sites.
