Here is a PHP snippet i use on new sites to detect when Googlebot visits the various pages to give me an idea on the sites indexing rate and status.

Because my mail client delivers a real time pop-up on my PC, i get instantly notified via email which is something not many stats packages are capable of doing. Add this to a common page such as footer.php if you want to be notified of all page hits, or you can just include it in specific pages.

PHP Code:

<?
$email = "yourname@youraddy.com";
if( eregi("googlebot", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) )
{
   mail($email, "Googlebot Hit",
           "Google just hit the following page: " .
           $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
}
?>

Just change yourname (at) youraddy.com to your real address, add it to your page and you are good to go. Just note, don't add this to heavily crawled sites or you will end up with a flooded mail box.
