Googlebot now crawls IPv6-only sites
Googlebot started crawling v6-only web sites in August. The pages it visits still do not appear in search results.
This is only the fifth crawler to visit my v6-only site.

I have an IPv6-only web site. It's a draft, full of broken links and I'm not making much progress, so I thought I'd make it v6-only to limit its audience.
Googlebot still doesn't see v6-only sites, but two other web crawlers have found the site in the past month.
Googlebot, msnbot and Yahoo Slurp have all seen links to rant.gulbrandsen; none of them followed the links.
On one hand, a blog which can't be indexed by the major search engines is pointless. On the other, this particular blog is really a CMS/publishing tool for my writings and ramblings about udoc and literate programming, and until I'm done with that subject, it doesn't matter much whether anyone can read the site, oops, the blog. So I'll leave it 6-only until that writing is more or less done, then reconsider the matter.
