Irene Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Under the Board Statistics at the bottom of the Main Forum screen, why do the 'Users' include search engines? Is it because WF subscribes or some other reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Some one will come along and tell you that they are search engine trawling nets, looking to pick up items to include in their search data bases, but that is not true. They are really looking for anyone called Irene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Under the Board Statistics at the bottom of the Main Forum screen, why do the 'Users' include search engines? Is it because WF subscribes or some other reason? As I understand it, all or most forums are trawled in this way. I don't honestly know if they are being paid for some underhand reason or what. I seem to remember a long time ago that someone did post a reason for this trawling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Search engines can have a legitimate reason for trawling forums. Where do you think I get a lot of my replies for technical queries from? ;) You can get all sorts of information. If you Google "andsome" then one of the hits is this.I find it very useful to have access to a lot of forums if I have some specific problem I am trying to sort out.
