Googlebot/Test
 

Hi. Know how Googlebot looks in access logs?

64.68.82.25 - - [11/Apr/2004:18:51:10 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 39226 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"

Ever see one like this? Is it really Googlebot?

64.68.83.157 - - [11/Apr/2004:18:50:50 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 39226 "-" "Googlebot/Test (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"

I searched my access log and couldn't find the test one. But the IP seems so close that it's gotta be, right?

I have seen it too on my sites!

This is an newe beta bot from google.
It looks also for .js files. In the Seo Scene People thinks it can be the beginning of doing something against Doorway-Spammers who works with .js redirects.

Is it useful?
