I have inserted the Google bot Detection script (I dont find the original post about it).<br />I told it to email me at tompa (at) jikrantz.se but the emails keeps coming to cpanelusername (at) jikrantz.se. How come?<!--content-->
This is the script I am using<br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><?<br />if(eregi("googlebot",$HTTP_USER_AGENT))<br />{<br />if ($QUERY_STRING != "")<br /> {$url = "http://".$SERVER_NAME.$PHP_SELF.'?'.$QUERY_STRING;}<br />else<br /> {$url = "http://".$SERVER_NAME.$PHP_SELF;}<br />$today = date("F j, Y, g:i a");<br />mail("MyEmailAddress", "Googlebot detected on http://$SERVER_NAME", "$today - Google crawled $url");<br />}<br />?><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br />change the first item after mail(<br />to the addy you want.<!--content-->

Is the addy a real account?<br />if not it will goto the catchall (cpanel) account<br /><br />I created a rule in outlook Express to move the goggle addy into its own folder when I check e-mail<br />but did not create an account for it.<br /><br />Does that help?<!--content-->

Just a tiny thing. The script is processed by the TCH server your site lives on and it sends the email, not Google. Just wanted to clear it up a bit.<br /><br />I'm glad it's working for you now.<!--content-->

Hi kristian,<br />the php snippet goes in the body.<br />Mine is just before the </body> tag.<!--content-->
Thomas, <br />googelbot visits my site 2-3 time a day<br />so that is nothing to worry about.<br />I suspect not all visits are a deep crawl.<!--content-->
Don's exactly right. Google may hit a home page or a well-connected page a couple times a day but it will only follow all of your links and see every page (what they call a "deep crawl") once a month or less usually.<br /><br />It could also be someone's browser or another spider calling itself googlebot too. You never know.<!--content-->
