just wanted to let everyone know that Google has now become omnipotent...........

we're developing a completely new website, no links to it yet, not final, but we found it in Google already.

how did Google know?

Did you check the site in your browser with the Google toolbar installed?

Yeah that google toolbar sure does stuff that users don't quite realize it does.

Various people speaking for Google strenuously deny that they use Toolbar data like this...

how did Google know?

Google immediately crawls new domains within about 24 hours of them being registered...they're a domain registrar, so they have the data.

I've seen indexing happen when a site is hosted on a test server and the index page is not there thus exposing the file tree.

bhartzer, are you saying that google spiders any site that has been registered or at least it will try to find it for spidering purposes? How do you know about that?

I know that google serves as it's own registrar, but didn't think that google used that data to find sites.
