6 Googlebots on my server at a time? Normal?

    Hi friends, I thought about asking you if this is normal, if you ever saw six robots from Google on your website at a time? From what I noticed, they're reading different pages on the site, these are the IPs I found:

    #1 - Google Bot 66.249.71.104
    #2 - Google Bot 66.249.71.229
    #3 - Google Bot 66.249.71.232
    #4 - Google Bot 66.249.71.216
    #5 - Google Bot 66.249.71.103
    #6 - Google Bot 66.249.71.176

    Is it normal to have so many Googlebots on a website at a time? At the time of posting this thread, all of them are present in my server.

    P.S. - 7th robot from 66.249.71.147 has come in now :(

    feel like you have lot of more interesting content for google engine, called google saturation. check your saturation level, there might be tools available. it is good only.

    Here's a screenshot. WP Useronline wordpress plugin (set to 30 seconds timeout) reports that there are 15 Googlebots - (I've blocked the blog name & URLs as those are not the topic of discussion). Now friends, tell me is this normal? And, saqib889, do you still feel they are from different sources?

    In case of blog, it might be normal as some popular blogs get quick index after just posting new blog post.

    It is normal for multiple google bots to crawl your site at a time. I notice this kind of pattern all the time in my log files.

    Its perfectly normal, big forums have around 100's of bots crawling at the same time
    The rule of the thumb is the more the content the more the crawlers
