    Default Search Bots

    I was looking at whos online and there seemed to be about 70 search bots on called Yahoo Spider something. What do they do?

    Hi Xdeathfire,
    I believe that the search robots archive the TW.org sight for their clients (Google or Yahoo or MSN or whatever search engine they are working for). Generally all the pages they visit will end up with keywords, based upon the wording used on the now archived page, to find them on their respective search engine. It, probably, will be very useful in finding the Org more prospective members so, I think, the administrators tolerate them stealing the .Org's bandwidth. Hope this helps you, cheers!

    I think that it varies, on one hour the whole list may be taken up by Google, the next hour by MSN and then later on by Yahoo! This is because the bots may be doing other things and browsing other people's sites at the time you are viewing the list.
