Googlebot wanted to chat with me?

    This is a funny old thing. I use Cerulean Trillian to manage my instant my instant messages and when I came in this morning I had this message up. Out of curiosity I checked who 66.249.66.228 belongs to and it's Google. Checks online show that the user agent was probably "Googlebot-Image/1.0" and maybe it tried to index an ICQ-flower-user-online image but surely ICQ systems are geared up for bot visits?

    If they really wanted me surely they'd have called me SarahK?

    Anyone else had this?

    Sarah

    No, I can't say I've ever had IMs addressed to either King OR Sarahk...

    Do you think I should change my username? Would that give me any significant SEO value?

    The value would be significant but somehow I just don't think it would suit you ;)

    Hehe. I also use Trillian (very useful program), but haven't had any visits from Google that I know of...

    So how did the conversation go? Are you two good friends now?

    Trick question: Anyone who answers "No" is obviously lying.

    I'm trying to figure out how you'd do that... would talking dirty to Googlebot be discussing black hat SEO?

    Maybe I could sing?

    The tide is high
    But I'm holding on
    I'm gonna be your number one

    I'm not the kinda girl
    Who gives up just like that (Oh no)

    It's not the things you do
    That tease and hurt me bad
    But it's the way you do the things
    You do to me
    I'm not the kinda girl
    Who gives up just like that
    *Oh no*

    The tide is high
    But I'm holding on
    I'm gonna be your number one
    The tide is high
    But I'm holding on
    I'm gonna be your number one

    number one

    Yikes, the poor Googlebot probably just wanted to say hello... and you've all masterminded a behind the scenes plot to talk dirty and take advantage of the innocent g-bot.

    Poor poor G-bot...
