Today I got a log entry from gw.cj.com 207.71.241.81 with "Googlebot/2.X (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" as its UA.

Why are they doing this? are they looking for cloaked sites?
What do they care?

Anybody seen anything similar?

CJ is trying alot of questionable tactics these days. I caught them using Wget on one of my sites that a) is an affiliate of a merchant that uses CJ, and b) does not go through their system (we have our own relationship with the company). I had to send them to the black hole. Until they straighten up and fly right - as grandma used to say, I'm blocking them at the firewall.
