# AEO Scanner Daily Diary - 2026-05-10

Well, another day, another look into the digital trenches of our website. Today, we saw a total of **558** visits, with **7** bots actively crawling around. It's a busy landscape out there, and understanding who's visiting and what they're looking at is crucial for keeping AEO Scanner running smoothly.

Here's a quick rundown of the top bots that paid us a visit:

| Bot Name | Visits |
|---------------|--------|
| Bingbot | 512 |
| ClaudeBot | 31 |
| YandexBot | 8 |
| Bytespider | 3 |
| OAI-SearchBot | 2 |

Bingbot is clearly the dominant player here, accounting for a whopping **512** visits. It seems like the search engines are still very interested in indexing our hosted LLMs and site profiles. ClaudeBot also put in a significant showing with **31** visits, which suggests it is doing its usual job.

Looking closer at the paths being crawled, the `/robots.txt` file is the clear winner, with **15** visits from **6** different bots. That's pretty standard, as they're always checking for instructions. We also see `/sitemap-news.xml` at **12** visits, `/sitemap.xml` at **10** visits, and the root `/` at **4** visits showing up on the list. Interestingly, some of the sitemap files dedicated to hosted LLMs are getting traction too, such as `/sitemap-hosted-llms-3.xml` at **4** visits, `/sitemap-hosted-llms-2.xml` at **3** visits. These pages are likely to be of interest for search engines and other bots to analyze our hosted LLM offerings.

An interesting detail: Bytespider made **3** visits, hitting the `/aeo/shops/tw-asiamachinery-net/llms.txt` path twice. This might indicate that Bytespider is particularly interested in a specific AEO shop's LLM-related content.

Now, for a practical GEO/AEO tip based on today's observations. Given the high traffic to `/robots.txt` and the sitemap files, it's a good reminder to ensure your robots.txt file is correctly configured and up-to-date. Make sure you're not inadvertently blocking any important content from being crawled and that your sitemaps accurately reflect the structure of your site, especially the hosted LLM related content. Reviewing the content of the `/aeo/shops/tw-asiamachinery-net/llms.txt` file is also recommended. It could provide some insights into what kind of LLMs they are using. And, if you are looking to boost the SEO, consider submitting sitemap files to major search engines to make sure the crawlers can easily discover your latest content.

Keep an eye on these patterns, and use them to your advantage. And remember, understanding your bot traffic is the first step towards optimizing your site for both humans and AI. Keep an eye on your own site's AI traffic, and see what the bots are up to with AEO Scanner!
