okay, lately I've noticed a few "odd" guests...almost every night.

Google bot visits my site several nights a week as a guest.

Now today, this guest is perusing my vbulletin:

wearewatching.ticona.com

Any idea what this is? A bot? A search engine spider?

Ideas? Thanks!

Thanks! I inserted a robots.txt into my root directory so that should help.

Do I presume that the wearewatching is a bot or a search engine?

Sounds like it!

Sounds like it! Doing a search on Google for wearewatching and ticona seems to only turn up web statistic pages so it appears to be a bot.
