Why is a google employee searching for my site?

I found in my stats today, a visit from:

Google (72.14.195.224)
Mountain View, California.

Normally this is just a robot visit. But instead, the referring link was:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site:www.bbc.com

(I replaced my domain above with bbc.com)

Any idea why a human at Google is searching my site?

 

You are becoming famous !

I think there's nothing to worry. It could be related to anything or even random personal visit searching for something !

 

google employee may be visiting your site in his office too

 

yeah the funny thing is that my site is related to premature ejaculation!

maybe Sergey Brin is having troubles in the bedroom department

 

Are you sure that is google employee, not google bot?
If it is true google employee, then you in touch with google

 

I find out today something similar for my new site, but from other IP address which is also located in that location.

 

I would be a bit worried. Perhaps your website triggered some type of spam filter and it is being manually reviewed.

I don't know why they would search Google for your url instead of just typing the url in the browser.

 

Most likely it is a bot visit, but I wouldn't impress me if it was an employee.

 

Don't worry much for now.
Days will reveal it all

 

The google people were having a look at their competitor search engine.

 

It's most likely someone using a google product like Google Accelorator.

 

why would they search in Google for that?

How can you even be sure it is a search from within Google? It may be anyone residing in moutain view. Secondly, it may be any of your competitors looking for your site's stats... Or it may well be someone trying to find a specific page on your site (using hte site attribute). There shoudl be nothing to worry. If Google employee has to check your site to ban or anything, he has lots of other means and softwares to do that. And It will not possibly be revealed to you through your analytics program.

 

Do you think they have an internet connection there?

 

Maybe your site contains any kind of virus or Trojan and Google is checking your site. this also happen to me a couple of months ago when my sites infected with some kind of <iframe> and java script type trojans and I also got email form Google. So check that your site dose not contains any harmful virus or trojan.

 

Because google employees are human too. Just because they work at google doesnt mean they cant surf during their free time

 

I will run out of the house, get your plastic and buy another pc. you have being target by google bot for termination. Hire a terminator or someone to protect you. Just kidding... I won't worry about it.

they do this all the time.

 

wow they banned internet in google office

 

Whoa!!

This was actually intrested
Probably someone from google found your site while searching

 

More likely is someone using google accelerator.
http://webaccelerator.google.com/

 

I think some of you misunderstand. This is not just a hit from Google. The referring URL is a google search for:

"site:<mydomain.com>"

There's no need for a bot or Google accelerator to do that.
