    At the spider section on the statistics, i found this:

    Have you tried deactivating all plugins to see if this has any effect?

    Install this plugin:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-crontrol/

    Take a look and see if you have any wp-cron jobs that look odd. Perhaps some plugin made a bunch of them and left them lying around.

    Also, it might just be pingbacks.

    If you make a post that contains a link, then WordPress will indeed go pull that link looking to see if it can send what's called a "pingback". This is for when you post about stories on other blogs, it'll send them a message saying you linked to them, and usually these show up as "comments" on those other blogs, and have links back to your own post.

    This should only happen once per link, per post. If you want to turn it off, you can do so on the Settings->Writing or Settings->Discussion page.

    i made a plugin that take a list of related post from another blogs. I think that is the source for the huge spiders. In one post i found at the pingback sections, more duplicated URLs.
    I dont know what i can to do with that ...
    It is a problem?
