That is normal. Google uses a bot to search out websites.

And by the way, Google is not the only company to user spiders to mine data from the internet. Many finacial firms use similar technology to keep their brokers informed of world going-on's... so that they supposedly have a bigger picture of where the next hot investment is.

Of course, that means that they get a commision no matter which way the market is headed... provided that they can get you to move your money!!!
