There's a few folks that read the Google cache instead of P6 directly. I see it because Google caches the Sitemeter counter.
Why?
Either to check if the page was changed, or to hide your IP address from the siteowner, without bothering to go through a proxy.
Speaking from personal experience, I have noticed a correlation between being portscanned and me leaving critical comments on some extreme left fora.
