Googlebot crawling CSS files now?
eKstreme posted about seeing Googlebot fetching a CSS file (via his logfile). He’s only seen it the one time, however, and is asking others to check their logfiles as well. I vaguely remember someone at Pubcon Vegas (I think it was Matt Cutts) mentioning that it would be a good idea for webmasters to not block javascript and css files from the bots. I remember raising my eyebrows at that point, but my memory fails me beyond that. Anyone else who attended Pubcon Vegas remember that moment more specifically?
If anyone sees legit Googlebot IPs requesting their css files in their logs, be sure to let eKstreme know.
