Who or what is Google [Bot], I have no idea but thats just normal................

[EFFalcon]

Bots or crawlers are automated agents most commonly used by search engines to update their databases. Since they rarely make proper use of sessions they can distort visitor counts, increase load and sometimes fail to index sites correctly. Here you can define a special type of user to overcome these problems.
