=======================

Moreover, the client did not use the Javascript.

To you speculations and conjectures.

 

Maybe google employees are also humans (when at lunch break, while at work they're super computers indexing everything they see) and they might actually surf the web once in a while.

Or.... Maybe its google bot saying its IE 6.0 to detect cloacking.

 

It could be a google employee with no JS.

Or google checking for cloaking by faking the user agent.

 

Yes!.It could be a google employee with no JS.
But the web site is located Italy and is written for Italians.

 

There could be an Italian employee in there
Is your website about Italian food ?

 

You know there are other companies and people in that city besides Google too, right? Imagine that.

 

Nope. . it's from a Google network:

http://www.whois.sc/216.239.58.136

Could be one one of their wifi networks??

 

Could be...

 

No. It's about Real-Estate.

So google are looking to open an office in Italy then? (runs to Digg.....)

 

Hmm. I do not think. Google have just an office in Italy.

 

I have people from MS buy from me sometimes. They are humans too, and shop online in their free time. I wouldnt' be so concerned if someone at google were shopping at my site. I'd love for them to buy something too. I've sold to MS, Yahoo, Defense Dept, and a few other big places, google would be cool

 

Maybe a spot-check for AdSense TOS compliance? That is, if you're running AdSense...

I noticed a hit or two as well, a couple days ago.

 

Yes, I do.
But their Javascript is disabled.

 

i just did a quick

on my logfiles and found a few hits from this ip. it seems to be visiting (crawling?) my site in approximately 5 day intervals.
they downloaded an mp3 file. does googlebot download anything like that?
