Google/AOL spidering

[JonR28]

hello, I just launched a new site last night and submitted it and such and I am looking at my logs and AOL spiders have hit me 3 times all ready, like 40 different IPs at a time. I thought AOL used Google so why do they have spiders? And why are they hitting me so much? Anyone know what these spiders are doing? I'm sorry I am new at SEO and webmarketing. Thanks in advance!

It's more than likely just a person looking at your site. AOL uses proxy, and when someone goes through a site, it'll look like a different number with each page they look at.
