Are you sure it was google.org and not .com?
Anway the search engines come to the site and cache all the keywords/topics/ect.

Its why when you do searches for things like a hijack this line or a topic about computers ccleaner forum will show up.
TheFiresInTheSky
it was probably .com.

thats cool how they can do that.
why cant you click to view their profile?
did you pass them off as search engines or something?

those things are just bots that go through each website so that they can cache the stuff on it. MrG can block those people with some kind of file which i forgot the name of, but there would be no point.
