Mountain View IP Visits My Site

[epmaniac]

mountain view's ip has made my site its home for several days, also google has been cloberring my site for several days as many gbot ips are always on my site ( i dont see any increase in indexing though)



this all is happening as u all know my site saw a drop of 75% in its referrals from google, since oct 22......

what should i make of it?

my site is a pr6, and quite popular

@ EP -

Did I see you over in the GW Forums asking for some assistance there as well? If so, I assume that would be typical of your request for them to look at your site.

I just want to add that some of the suggestions being given at the G-Webmaster forums (For your issue and others) are starting to make Google sound evil.

We've watched google safari users come and go for days. They could be real shoppers or they could be turning the screws more. This has never happened before.

they always visit your site, i have seen them on my site a few times

AppEngine-Google; (+http://code.google.com/appengine; appid: linksalpha)
ip address of 72.14.192.67

I have not researched this bot, but when it visits again youll notice it has no browser attached to the visit hence a bot.

Need to do a bit more research to find out exactly what it is

In our case it turned into an actual transaction..with 20k employees you may just end up with a googler as a customer.

The app engine I think is someone playing with the API.
