Wow, this site serves 540,000 pages a day!

I'm sure somebody asking that rarely if ever gets hit. Yes there is a way. You can just put some server side code on the page (php, asp) that detects the referer and if it is gbot have it send you a message. Sticky me if you need some help.

there is a free service out there that automatically sends you an email notification whenever a search engine crawler (spider/agent/robot) is scanning your website.
due to the TOS here I can not point the URL.
I suggest you search for it in google

Well, thanks all for your response. Did somebody create any scripts to detect the spider. Let us know.

Thanks

lol - check *any* of the script archives - there are many out there in every flavor.
