Google Toolbar is used to find new web sites?

I have put a new domain name and hosting service last week. Yesterday I found that Googlebot crawled this site. It doesn't have any incoming link or outgoing link. I have Google Toolbar installed when I checked the unfinished site for changes.

I saw some similar posts here but couldn't find it from search because there were too many post here with "Googlebot toolbar" keywords.

is this already proven fact or any other theories?

From the log file, I found only 6 unique visits (from me) and Googlebot and webworm.

Any thoughts?

Could be a link someplace, either in open stats where you visited after your site - or maybe derived from whois records.

I can think of 2 ways google could get the url to spider it. Neither of which involve the toolbar.

If it is a .com, .net or .org site Google will index it regardless of incoming links. They use the registry to find them......I have solid proof with a totally redeculous name I registered just to prove that was how they were doing it :)
