    In checking my visitor paths I came across a bunch from Google and am wondering if this is a bot or an actual person.

    If you check the first two of the 3 google ips the last entry in both of them are the same file. One of the google ips is in NY, the other Cali and the time accessed is about 8 minutes apart.

    Do they just love my site or is it something else?

    I think they are all bots. If you search for "google datacenter list" you'll get quite a lot of similar IP's. Additionally a search for these IP's in Google itself (with quotes) i.e. "72.14.194.20" returns a LOT of results from awstats etc. So they are obviously accessing many sites.

    If you use the PR checker at iwebtool.com to check your PR it will show your PR at all the individual DC's. The IPs *may* show up in there. I tried, but couldn't get it to work for me today :)
