lobotomy Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Noticed google was logged on to the forum browsing a post about cams;Is this because someone has searched google looking for stalet +cams for instance? Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this for me... Quote

BlackTarw Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Funnily enough I was doing a presentation on the Google Mini Search Appliance yesterday so I might be able to help.If Google was indexing the website, it would show up in the event logs as googlebot, not google.com. It certainly wouldn't create a user account, I'm guessing someone created the account google.com and was poking around.*edit, unless the IPB board does some clever bits to indicate Google is parsing the site of course!* Quote
