The googlebot is a robot which automatically goes out and scans websites. Those pages then appear on Google later (can sometimes be months tho). So it's a good thing when the googlebot appears because it means the site is being indexed by Google (and therefore is more searchable!)

They were Simons words not mine :D I had to ask him what it was :lol:
