Did you include/add the name (or IP) of the simulator client? Remember that the spider killer will only remove the SIDs of those sites it has listed and knows about. Its possible that it does not contain that of the simulator you used.

For example I tested 2 Spider Simulators awhile back and while 1 did not display the SIDs the second did. After I looked at the server logs and found its IP I was able to add that to the spider killer. Retested with the second Simulator and no SIDs at that point.

BTW.. the 2 Spider Simulators I used were:
[url]http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi[/url]
[url]http://www.webconfs.com/search-engine-spider-simulator.php[/url]

Also note that if your using osC2.2 MS2 I dont believe you need to upload anything as the spider killer was included in MS2.

[quote="joekilo"]does anyone have any help as to why the spider isnt working correctly as per my earlier post? im cvs .2...i have uploaded the details to my html output file...but when i do a spider simulator it still has the sids.......?[/quote]
