Someone with a G00gleb0t IP address has been systematically searching my archives over the past few days for just about every word I've ever used in a sentence, plus a few I don't think I've ever used here. I'm trying to figure out if it's an individual who is maybe just curious about the site, or if it's some sort of G00glicious cataloguing effort underway. Anyone else seeing 66.249.66.18o prowling around in their archives or search engines? Searches for things other than male-enhancement pharma sites or for, you know, normal stuff that people might like to search on your site, like "Le5bian5" or "be@st1@l1+y"? And any theories on why a G00gleb0t is so interested in me?
And for those of you with no idea what I'm geeking out about, what's snoo with you today?
Posted by cynical at March 17, 2008 02:55 PMI have been on the receiving end of a similar probe from some bot for a couple of months and the only thing that I notice is that my posts are being scraped and reposted on various SEO blogs.
Do you check Technorati or some other service to see who is linking back to you? That's how I picked up on it.
At least they link back to me, so I do get some actual traffic from them once in a while.
