Who's visiting: Googlebot or Google?

1 replies
Google is on my site a lot today. Typically I can tell when it's googlebot, as it will say so. Not so today... all varying IP addresses (the 2 last digits different). Multiple instances of google on my site at one time. Using Safari browser on a Linux system.

Could this be a manual review??? I know it probably isn't but why doesn't it say googlebot? Some of them have breadcrumb from one page in my site to another. Strange stuff....

    GoogleBot will usually advertise itself as such. Having said that Google has lots of other bots if you use AdWords, AdSense, mobile stuff, or who knows what else.

    Finally, google employees DO surf the web sometimes, too
