Title: Re: Spiders?? Post by: Charles LePage @ ComicList on January 01, 2006, 01:49:16 PM A spider or bot is a customizable computer program that crawls around the Web indexing Web pages and or links in those pages. Also called a crawler.
The spider indexes specific information from each web page that it visits. Many web sites get listed in the search engines when spiders visit their sites and index them to their web catalog. An example of an industrial strength spider is Google’s Googlebot. AltaVista’s spider is called Scooter. http://www.marketing-register.com/glossary/s/Spider_Bot/index.shtml Title: Re: Spiders??

Advertising bots can crawl Google in search of forums to add to lists in order to spam them. A car board I co-moderate is having trouble with that right now. Title: Re: Spiders?? Post by: Andrew G.
