Post by ranger0101 »

This is probably the wrong place to post this..

What does it mean when one of the registered users
on line is google [bot] ...?

This does not seem good to me...
I dont like bots...

Cheers

The Google bot, Yahoo bot, Bing bot, etc. are the web crawlers that searches use to find web pages for their indexes so we can find them with those searches. That is how a new web site is discovered by the searches and changes are updated. Honest ones obey the robots.txt file and meta tags that say if a page, site, etc. is to be indexed -- like electronic "private keep out" signs.
