November was my first full month for my new site and I was wondering how these stats are for visiting spiders

No, not good.

How many pages is the site?

my site has about 20-25 pages, could you explain why they are not good?

What do you use to get that Info?

The Slurp stats are pathetic. They should be similar to the MSN ones. Normally Googlebot stats should be higher than MSN, but it isn't uncommon for MSN to like some site better than the other bots.

The main thing though is if all three engines have all your pages indexed.

With a 25 page website, I'd define "very good" as getting all your pages crawled every day, and good as getting some pages crawled every day or two at the worst. I'd say your MSN numbers are okay, Google ones are weak, and Yahoo ones are terrible.

Also of course it depends on what pages are being hit. If MSN just hit your homepage 800 times, that would be not as good as if they crawled the whole site a few times.

what would be your suggestion to get better numbers? content+backlinks??

Links from well crawled pages.
Clean, crawler-friendly internal navigation.
Having pages that change.

thanks PPP, one last question, what exactly do you mean by pages that change? like update? or completly change?
