I have a new site at www.quiobo.com this has phpfox.com script installed (a myspace clone). The control panel allows me to check the IPs where visitors are coming from. I kept seeing one IP, so I looked it up, and found this: IP Whois Results: Connecting to whois.arin.net... OrgName: Google Inc.

they are not curious and they are not checkin on u manualy its there bots that are hiting your site "GOOGLE CRAWLERS" so that your site gets indexed on google automatically
Do you think that Google being a search engine is merely indexing your site and adding it into their search engine ? I know they do regular spidering to my sites in order to get the most updated links.
google bot already at the site? it took me much longer for other sites. Well, I guess it's good to have the bot checking the site already. Let's hope I get indexed soon
