spiders are somewhat the same thing as 'gophers', but a bit more sophisticated with a slightly different intent, i believe. if you dont know what gophers are, yes, it's just 'bots' searching out sites to be indexed somewhere.

just for some mild entertainment, go to google and enter your .org online name. surprised me the first time i did this.
