I never noticed it before, but in the line at the bottom of each thread that says, "Others using the forum", the first listed "other" is sometimes "Google [bot]". Well I guess the forum is open to anyone who wants to lurk, and there are probably more nefarious intruders than Google[bot]. Some could be your Christian neighbors who lurk here to get some "goods" on you that they can gossip about, but I guess Google[bot] is probably just trying to figure out what he should advertise to you..... or is he? Actually, I doubt the ethics of a Google[bot], if you are planning on running for public office, would a Google[bot] sell your personal information to an opponent who will use it to smear your reputation and ruin your life?
Creepy!
Googlebot is merely indexing pages for future searches.
Googlebot is vaguely related to the NSA listening in on me to find out when the next bus is coming. Just for reference googlebot, the next number 3 bus is due at 2:46pm at Mound & Sauder. Make sure Uncle Sam is on time please.
Thanks,
A concerned citizen.
Google only indexes the content on their massive server farms.
I had sex with googlebot, but she never called back :,(
It's too bad the NSA is using Google bot to spy on us. That might really impede our plan to set off a bomb in Times Square.
