  Over the past few weeks I have been inundated with visits from Google – up to 40 each day.
  I have Sitemeter so I can identify visits. Google has trawled my blog for nearly 2 years but just new posts. It is now revisiting all my old posts. Is this happening to anyone else?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Why are you concerned about Googlebot, that’s a good thing. Google has changed the way it indexes, and also there is now a ‘web preview’ so people can have a preview that highlights their search terms, and they can then decide whether or not to click through. Google are probably now adding the preview to all your old posts. If you check in the Details on Site Meter, and look at the Browser, it will say ‘Google Web Preview’.
