Hi,
First I would like to thank you for your reply. Yeah, you are correct that I 
want lot of traffic.

I have some assumption on the popularity of my site. Which is not that much 
popular.

Yeah.. I have other regular visitors. From different OS, different Browsers, 
different Versions of them and random timing.

But Within last 36 Hours I'm getting this same request except IP. And no 
second request from each IP. It's visiting the first page and doing nothing. 
But the site is a search engine. No request proceed for searching.

Now, what I'm suspecting is that all comming from the same host machine but 
somehow it's representing different IP.
Now can you suggest me, how is that possible.

Thanks again.
