    I have a cool idea. Take it and run with it.

    Use distributed computing to become the crawler.

    For example, google.. rather than having their servers do the crawling and declare themselves as googlebot they should use the google toolbar to take computers that are not in use and let them do the crawling.

    Google would get:
    1) Unpredictable ip's. No SERP spammers could predict googlebot's ips and serve up different content for them.
    2) Well.. thats pretty much it. The new googlebot distributed network could also lie about it's browser version and referring url's so as to force sites that cloak to always divulge their real content.

    As a result results would be more relevant.

    Just a thought.. stupid? to naive?

        Alexa use there tool bar to track hits to sites. That is more of a passive use.

        I don't think google is gonna pickup on this one....

            I don't think they would do it without your knowledge. plenty of people donate their unused computing cycles and broadband to projects like SETI etc..etc..

                  The first application is already live: http://toolbar.google.com/dc/offerdc.html
                  Distributed systems of idle cpu time via the toolbar is already setup, they just have to set it up to crawl. As an SEO, I for one hope this never happens.

                      It's called the google toolbar, and despite denials, they have been using it for years.
