Simple question...how do you tell if Google is crawling your site? Most of our sites are hosted by a major hosting company and we use LiveStats. Can I even tell or do I have to host my own site.

Keep in mind, I'm the marketing/sales/copywriting part of the team, but my tech guy is out for the next 10 days.

Is it possible for a non techie to determine this?

Thanks as always...

I'm not sure how to get into the raw log files of Livestats, but if you can view your raw log files do a search for googlebot. You will then be able to see which spider is coming through and what page it is crawling.
