I did a site search and couldn't find any posts about it. I got a visit from this little guy and I'm curious about it. I've never submitted my site for an AdSense review. Although I have signed up for an account.

Mona, I'm not sure but my guess would be it's related to the little tool that Google recently put out that allows you to right click on a page and see examples of what adsense ads would be displayed there if you were running adsense.

This is a Google bot that's checking your site. Somehow you've managed to get on their 'A' list (something you normally have to pay money for so it's weird that you don't know how it happened). This is a good thing. What they're doing is basically sniffing you to see where on their sidebar 'Ad Sense' ads (the highest converting) to put your site. Way to go you.

lyrker, thanks. Question for ya: So by the 'A list' do you mean that I should be advertsing my site through adsense or that I should be carrying adsense adds on my site? It's a content site, and I have thought about carrying ads on it.

"Google AdSense Targeting Checker" is the full User-Agent string?

Yep. And it only came once, it was a few months back.
