Is this some sort of adsense related bot?

tony

it is, thats why i bookmarked it
http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-update-list.php thats another useful site to do with google updates, it lists the past updates for the last few years

From my observation, Googlebot spiders your site to index the site while Media-partners shows up only when a user clicks on your Adsense advert.

Mediabot is the bot that crawls your page to decide which adsense to show.

ahh I see, so in total how many bots has google got? Becuase I heard something about a google image bot too

SEbasic

Couldn't tell you off the top of my head...

But there's...

Original
The new HTTP 1.1 bot (Not sure what it does yet)
Testbot, or something like that - reads Javascript
Imagebot
MediaBot....

There are loads more I'm sure, When I get a chance to look at my log files I'll post a few...

Python
