Google could also be crawling the net with a brand new crawler, a brand new Googlebot, named GoogleProducer. This useragent is just not listed on the official Google crawlers web page however perhaps it’s too new to be listed but?
Hernán Marsili noticed this and requested Google about this on Twitter. He stated, “we’re seeing numerous visitors to writer’s websites with a brand new user-agent ‘GoogleProducer; (+http://goo.gl/7y4SX) ‘. Our WAF is at the moment blocking it, but it surely’s origin is definitely Google Proxy hosts. Is that this legit visitors?”
That hyperlink goes to this web page that 404s inside the Google Information Producer part.
As an FYI, Google Producer is a part of Google Information and Google Currents, I consider. This assist doc from Google says, “You’ll use Google Currents producer to handle your points (e.g., pricing, description, and many others.) for Google Play Magazines. When you’re collaborating in Google Currents, Producer will look acquainted to you. You’ll be able to handle each your version(s) for Google Currents and your points for Google Play Magazines by way of Producer. See our article on writer account setup for the steps you might want to take to completely arrange your writer account and magazines for Play. You probably have any questions on utilizing Producer for Google Currents, please see the Currents Producer Assist Heart.” Observe, the Currents Producer Assist Heart redirects to the Google Writer Heart assist middle.
John Mueller of Google stated he’ll look into it:
I am going to examine – thanks for pinging.

I suppose we are going to see what he says however till then, I do suspect this can be a legit Googlebot crawler.
