Google Now Requesting CSS Files?
January 8th, 2007 by pamela
A recent SEO Refugee thread discussing whether Googlebot was checking CSS files has been followed up with an update from ekstreme.com which seems to suggest that Google is indeed requesting CSS files.
Checking log files, Pierre Far of ekstreme.com found some evidence that the requesting IP addresses did belong to the Google IP block, with comments seeming to back this up. Could this be Google’s new attempt to read external CSS and javascript files to stamp out black hat techniques?
