Hi there.

As i logged in i saw that in registered members online a "Google [Bot]" online is.

I don't know if it is okay or if this Bot is intended to be here (first time i saw it).

Best regards.

It's a good thing. It's here to inspect the site and put it onto Google search results.

Yeah i saw that, but if its good then woop woop!

Anytime you see a grey username with a [Bot] suffix on the end, it's some Internet search engine or something crawling the site. That they're crawling it doesn't necessarily mean they'll index it, but it means they're at least looking at the site.

Google's clearly doing something, though, as this forum now shows up in their index.

Okay. Thanks for the reply.

Best regards.

I think Yahoo also has a bot. It often "comes" to another forum I visit, along with the Google one.

now that the subject is cleared up, why dont we lock the thread, Feld0?

[dannyboy]

yeah this site is the first one that shows up when you type in wii 2 blog. I wish I could get my blog advertised better on google

[Bartman2]

i SAID, why don't we get this thread locked up?

[Wertville]

Because it's not off-topic...

Locking threads is really only intended for threads that have gone irrecoverably off-topic, bartman2. This one hasn't, so I'll be keeping it open. Who knows, someone else might want to discuss Googlebot here.

[Wertville]

I think googlebot isn't really from google...

...Dang, looks like slenderman found me again. I'll be leaving for a bit, guys, see you around!
