    Yes - that's Googlebot.

    Is it downloading alot of images/multi-media?

    I have a bit of images, but most of them are in members only areas, so it shouldn't be an issue. The site itself has over half a million posts in the forum, not counting the other sections. Still, that's a lot for one day. Between Google and Inktomi Slurp, a site can be crippled.

    Its alright. Just wanted to be sure the IP is Google. I will channel more bandwidth into the domain, that's all for now. Thanks.

    Well that certainly is a lot of crawling activity. Let's hope it translates into a ton of indexed content for you.

    Traffic's jumped lately from 25k uniques per month to about 40k average, but it isn't translating into a spike in income. I have to explore non-Google options using my adpeeps...

    How is your stickiness factor?

    Are users staying to browse, or just landing and leaving?
