google bot

Post by Batman »

i just discovered something quite interesting...
Everytime i log onto my gmail. and then look at the number of registered users for this site, google bot is a registered user. however, when i log off of gmail, google bot emediatly goes away from this site.
Why is this?
Should i be concerned about security?

I don't think so. Googlebot is just a bot which comes here frequently to scan the site for changes. I can't imagine it's more than coincidence that it dissapears if you log out of gmail, since you'll see it for 15 more minutes before it dissapears from the online users.

I've heard of piggybacking through locked doors, but this is ridiculous!

You swipe your card to enter a door and someone else sneeks through too.
