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!?
