Googlebot, Google’s Web Crawler
Googlebot is Google’s web crawling robot, which finds and retrieves pages on the web and hands them off to the Google indexer. It’s easy to imagine Googlebot as a little spider scurrying across the strands of cyberspace, but in reality Googlebot doesn’t traverse the web at all. It functions much like your web browser, by sending a request to a web server for a web page, downloading the entire page, then handing it off to Google’s indexer.
Googlebot consists of many computers requesting and fetching pages much more quickly than you can with your web browser. In fact, Googlebot can request thousands of different pages simultaneously. To avoid overwhelming web servers, or crowding out requests from human users, Googlebot deliberately makes requests of each individual web server more slowly than it’s capable of doing.
Googlebot finds pages in two ways: through an add URL form, http://www.google.com/addurl.html, and through finding links by crawling the web
We are being watched

If they find anything worthwhile ,say Sakru

the Google Search Base.
You go to Google & search Shoo Fly Pie &

RE: googlebot - shadow - 12-06-2008 03:01 AM
We had him crawling around our forum. We tend to think of him as a little dog fetching and returning info. I think we even named him but we lost so much data in our server meltdown I can't remember.
