Hello, I am running several directories, looking at my search log (in the database) I did notice that the same keyword was always search twice and one of the searcher was 66.249.73.66 (a Google IP) I look at other directories and I did notice the same pattern. Only one of my directory was free from this interference and it is not running adsense. Is Google reading my users input? How can I keep it from doing that? No I am not paranoiac, but Google must be using a lot of MY bandwidth to get the information and a lot of MY server resources to uselessly search my directories. Short of removing AdSense from my site is there anything I can do to control the use of my server?
Well I never find it useless if google crawls my site. But maybe you can use a robot.txt http://www.robotstxt.org/
