Googlebot followed me into SeeD! I've watched him travel from me to Phieta to Leftyy, possibly more people! How cool!

Yeah... Hyper noticed it here awhile ago, and I've seen it weekly since then... but jumping from user to user is cool, yet at the same time scary...

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly does the GoogleBot do? And I don't under stand how it "jumps from user to user". How so?

It finds sites to put into the Google search engine (www.google.com). I don't think it actually jumps from user to user... it just follows links.

A post of mine in the last Google Bot related thread:

QUOTE
Google bots (and other bots from search engines) track clicks and scan webpages for keywords to use in searches. They have been here before, though with the upgrade you can see when they're scanning the site (usually enter with a user, since I hear that they track clicks and "follow" people to sites).

This isn't anything new, but it may have categorized us in more places. A Google bot is the reason you can find CurvedSpace by searching for "free Runescape avatars"... It found "free", "Runescape", and "avatars" on the same page and put them together.

Forums are great for this since so many topics are covered, and this is why forums always pop up when you search for something. Like if it scanned this post, it could even categorize this page as "track upgrade" (maybe for a racing game), "free CurvedSpace avatars", and "upgrade webpages".


I've also seen HotBot and another search engine bots here as well. They're harmless and cannot retrieve information about those they "follow", but they almost seem to be everywhere at once. Some consider them to be annoyances (they tend to register sites under keywords which don't relate to the page), though they are good for traffic (which is what we need here). Don't be surprised when more come, for they will always be here at random times. grnwink.gif
