Greg - Yahoo! Slurp Spider

[dianevill]

Greg, what is a Yahoo! Slurp Spider? I see a lot of "spiders" when I check "who's online".

Thanks!
Diane

My guess as to what those are is when someone does a Google search or Yahoo search and chefsuccess.com comes up as a search result and someone clicks on it, it takes them directly here. That's my guess what a spider is. I also wonder if Greg and Deb do any advertising of this site on the internet?? Do you guys? Maybe that's why there's been such an increase today. Who knows!?

I looked it up. Here's the link that kind of explains what it is if you understand it. I get about half of it. Looks like it's a robot that goes out and collects info from websites to index them for search engines. http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp/slurp-01.html
