Most of those "guests" will most likely be entries made by bots which trawl the web.

Google, Bing and all those other search engines regularly visit us and all the other websites out there to check if page content has changed so it can be updated on their pages.

I'm not sure why the bots are sometimes shown to be printing pages. That has always puzzled me. ???

That's very interesting, but at the same time quite a scary thought :0

I know what you mean about them printing pages, and i've seen some obscure ones lately but at least this explains it ;)
