This is really disgusting to me. Why in the world does Google think it's OK to hammer websites like this? I've about had enough of them. And they have no facility in place for website admins to report this abuse and ask them to stop probing so aggressively.
I need to know if performance on the site has been slow over the past 24 hours. If it has, I may just have to block Google entirely. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,072 | Performance has been relatively normal from HQ.
I'm seriously shocked that Google even bothers with us. After we took Google away as the search engine for Stovebolt, and dropped the AdSense, and their stats program, we saw the number of hits to the site go down. In the last few years, it seemed if you use Google to search, and type "old truck resto" questions, Stovebolt does not show up. It USE to be, we got a ton of traffic from G -- all at the top of the page! But we were not going back to G - no way.
