Did you access that URL with Google Chrome mere seconds before googlebot miraculously found it?
- galacticvoid 13y agoOr does the browser your using have instance results from the address bar and the search engine is Google?
- colanderman 13y agoYes, though I've tried testing for this, but I only see requests from my browser (Opera) for incomplete URLs.
- gee_totes 13y agoWait, are you saying the Google Chrome will send URLs back to Google for indexing? I did not know this
- stray 13y agoI'm not saying it as a statement of fact. But rather as a plausible explanation for what OP experienced. But if I were google I would definitely give people free tools with which they could perform, with actual human intelligence, tasks I had found difficult.
- colanderman 13y agoNo, I'm using Opera (see the log). It's possible Opera is sending such info as well (it uses Google for autocompletion), but I've tried reproducing this and I don't see evidence of it. (I do see autocompletion requests, but never for complete URLs.)
- stray 13y agoThat is surprising and somewhat troubling.
