I’ve seen some logs in my stats also in the last few days.
some from 74.125.16.32, some from different ff-in-f…google.com.
I see that this thread started on February, and I see this now in September. My question is if people had tis kind of visits before had their sites penalized or banned from Adsense program.

@altek: Nope. Blackhat sites are primarily nailed by manual review. And do you know of any Googlebots that use referrers?

Hmm…or maybe were over-paranoid?

We were paid a visit by 72.14.193.67 today. A simple google.com site:our.domain

We’re in a pretty competitive market though - I guess someone is unpleased with our ranking (it’s very good.)

Thanks for your article. Very insightful!

I am getting odd searches from IP 66.249.85.129 ff-in-f129.google.com a few days apart. Using: “www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Awww.mydomain keyword”

The keyword is different each time.

Just to be sure, what you want to do is:
- show to the crawlers the black pages
- show to the reviewers/users the white pages
