Very possible. But here's an interesting question. Why index approx 200 pages?. I understand an auto check for 20,30,50,90 pages....why spend the time and resources to re-index approx 200 pages.

Side note:
This web site lost almost all of it's google traffic starting around mid August. Hasn't recovered fully since. Some pages still appearing on google serp on pages 50 to 120 though.

Side note2:
No adsense on this website and never had any.

Re:

but has the behavior continued

Haven't seen it again since posting the OT. But still looking + laid out some traps.

I am using statcounter.com for tracking and interestingly enough, this bot did not trigger their tracking code (javascript)...in other words i can not see any of it's activity at "statcounter.com". Stealth, like it was designed NOT to execute or ignore their tracking code (and probably many other popular tracking code) yet i was able to fully see it live online via javascript code plus i can fully see it's activity over my raw server logs. Very weird...i know.

IMO, must be an automated browser tool OR new/experimental Chrome based bot.
