This code will notify you by email every time Google bot visits your website. It can be very useful when trying to do SEO work, now you can know exactly when Google comes and then review your page rankings and search result positions, and of course make according corrections and tweaks.

The code 

<?
$email = "yourname@example.com";

if( eregi("googlebot", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) )

{ 

mail($email, "Googlebot Alert", 

"Google just indexed your following page: " .

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); 

}

?>

Of course you need to change the email address, but it should work fine.

Would be more efficient to use:

if( stristr("googlebot", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) )

as it doesn't involve the regex engine for a simple string match.
