Over the weekend I got a glimpse just how serious Google is about tracking everything on the web.

On Friday night I registered a new domain, and on Sunday hosting and holding page were ready and so it went live.

By Monday morning all three pages had received a visit from the Googlebot.

While it's impressive it also makes me wonder how they found it... I've not linked to the site from anywhere (because it's not really ready for visitors) which leaves the domain registry or the hosting provider as sources of the information...

I wait with baited breath the arrival of the Live Search and Yahoo! crawlers along with others (and will of course be adding Project Honeypot to the site to confound spammers from day #1)
