OK. I ran a whois based on the IP addresses of the "guests" at that particular point in time and they point back to Google being the owner of the entire block - well lots of blocks.

A google spider is pretty much an automated surfer (much like yourself) that gets sent out to "spider" web sites - except that they do it in packs and they do it a whole lot faster than we could ever surf.

They then return the informaton to google who then uses it to update their servers and before you know it, we can be found on google.
