chatterbug89 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 All it is is a nice feature of Invision board which instead of just coutnign the google bots as guests it displays the google bot as if it were a member. Google is just doing its rutine index of the forums. On phpbb boards you dont see this since it dosen't have that feature (plus google bot dosent' index or rarely indexes forums...thou my forums are optimized for search egines so google is on my forums all the time, but that is another story ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chatterbug89 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 OK, since I am bored I will tyr to explain this to you all...lol... OK, google sends out bots, which are more commonly known as spiders to web pages to index them. this means the spider collects page information, maybe chaches it, etc. Now, as for why it is called a spider, it will "crawl" though the whole site by going to every link (even offsite links). By the spider in a way just browsing the site, it is able to add all those page to its index...so when you try to search for something you can fidn somethign related to your search term. Also, since the spider goes off the site, it finds new sites to add to its index. That's pretty much how it works. When you see the google.com thing all the invision board software is telling you is that the google bot is "browsing" the forums. It realy isen't a member...it just looks like it. Also, there may be many bots on the same site at a time (I have had like 10 before on my forums and site all at once). Hope that clears some things up.

chatterbug89 Report post Posted May 27, 2005 If you try to trace the IPs they are usualy some subdomain of the site...so yes. If you are realy that interested...I went and copied the domain of one of the googlebots that were on my forums a secound ago... TraceRoute to 66.249.66.16 [crawl-66-249-66-16.googlebot.com] so there you go...lol..now back to watching anime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
