Google [Bot]??

[PaulBusta]

When I logged on this morning I saw that there was a Google [Bot] also logged on. Are we under attack

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the heads-up -- no sign of foul play on the Admin Panel. I will keep my eyes wide open though.

Regards,
Chet

Hi,

This just means you logged in the same time as googlebot was spidering
the Casablanca website thats all. Googlebot visits my website about every
7 days. It`s spirdering for google internet search.

Regards
James.

What is interesting is I ran into the Google bot on once as well and it was as a registered member.

I let Chet know and he said the bot is not registered. . .

The power of Google!

Yahoo Bot is also on here occasionally. Saw it just a minute ago.

After a tiny bit of research, this/these 'bots' are apparently nothing to be concerned about - it is the method that search engines use to search and catalog websites. You can read more about the Googlebot on their webpage here:
