Re: Who Or What Is It?
ALFan,
Pretty sure I know the function of the various BOTs that appear on Forum as registered members; however, since the BOTS were introduced to the Forum by Admin, I will defer to him to answer your question.
YO Admin, where are you?
Mike

Re: Who Or What Is It?
The bots in question (Google, Yahoo!, MSN) come by the website and "index" all the pages. This way, when someone searches for something (i.e. ALF garbage can) the appropriate page will show up in search engine results.

Re: Who Or What Is It?
I own a forum with the same software and there are around 50 or so bots that can be activated to search the site.ALFan wrote:Just wondering,how many do we have on her? It seems like I see more and more new ones every day.

Hi,
It's the same thing. The terms spider, bot (robot), and crawler are used interchangeably when it comes to search engine lingo.
