If you or your company have a Web site, you need to read this thread on the Google Web Accelerator and the havoc it can cause to you and anyone using your site, particularly if your site incorporates any Web applications. Here’s the heart of the matter:

The accelerator scours a page and prefetches the content behind each link. This gives the illusion of pages loading faster (since they???ve already been pre-loaded behind the scenes). Here???s the problem: Google is essentially clicking every link on the page ??? including links like ???delete this??? or ???cancel that.??? And to make matters worse, Google ignores the Javascript confirmations. So, if you have a ???Are you sure you want to delete this???? Javascript confirmation behind that ???delete??? link, Google ignores it and performs the action anyway.

Thanks to Geek News Central for the link. Todd the Geek asks, “Your introduction of WebAccelerator is costing me time, money and valuable statistical data. Where do I sent the bill?”
