JOMJ87 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Whats that google BOT purple person thing logged in??? I have seen it a few time Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Don't worry, it's perfectly harmless (or so I'm told). As I understand it, that's google's automated system poking around and saving info for their search engine database. I have an admin page for controling the auto-bots (my term for it, not theirs :D ). I can even turn them off if I so desire. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have seen it several times since i decided i missed this place and came back after a long while. I just wandered what it was. I knew you controlled the others and the spammers from ahile back when you started the non-auto register. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yea...they used to be called "spiders", but as Pete said...they are harmless and are just collecting information for Google / Yahoo searches so that when people that need us are trying to find good info...we will be there for them :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Speaking of i have noticed there are some hidden forums that google and yahoo don't know about. You get lucky and here about them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I don't understand. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well for instance I just came across a XJ website i had never in all the days of searching seen. Once on the site i have found places like detours offroad products i believe is the name and i had never seen it in a search. Like when you search for a part there are only a handful of shops show up that offer it when you know there are more. I guess they don't have "tags" associated with them for them to be found on yahoo or google searches? Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I don't know how we got noticed. I certainly didn't go seek out the attention. But it looks like we've got some. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
