Has anyone else noticed this recently?

My sitemeter statistics are showing that googlebot is on a mad tear through my blog. Usually I get a couple hits a week, but I'd say in the past 5 days a good 20% of my traffic is actually googlebot. Just wondering if it's just me, or if anyone else is noticing that too.

I got nailed by Google really hard the other day. And most of the inbound searches for the past week and a half have been coming in packs of 5-7 of the same term.

And the terms have made more sense than usual, as well.

There have been lots of google bots, now that you say that.....

I see lots of referrals from Google, all for a silly post I had of Dr. Evil, but not bots so far.

I guess I'm unpopular...

Yeah, but I;m not talking about just google hits, but googlebot hits.

Derp. I had a spike of those one day, but it quieted back down.

Just checked here again, and they're still going strong.

I'm getting them too.
I think it has something to do with that Google bundling going on.

Or- maybe it's Google's way to make-up for f*cking up the ability to add more blogs to my blogroll.
....Nahhhh

Oh great, are they messing that up too? I need to update mine soon; if it doesn't go well I may make the jump to WP after all...
