Google Guide
Googlebot (Google's spider) finds sites by following
links from other sites. The more links to your site they find the the chance of
Googlebot finding you. They also follow links from their addurl form, but prefer
to find links to you instead. You can check to see if/when Googlebot has visited
by reviewing your site's logs located on your server. When Googlebot visits you
will see a reference to 'The little robot that google.com sends out to spider
website content GoogleBot' or 'crawler12.googlebot.com' or something similar.
They announce who they are. For more on locating and viewing your server logs
you need to speak to your hosting company. Many common website statistics (site
stats) programs will gather this information and present an easy to read report
for you.
