shanenin Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I am guessing google changed the name of googlebot to google.com because it seems less threatening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Another dumb question from me!!!! What does google "do" here, anyways? Adding things to google? And....is that a bad thing? Seems like the publicity would be benefical to the forum as a whole,.. or not? And remember, you can laugh, you know I don't mind! Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcl Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Another dumb question from me!!!! What does google "do" here, anyways? Adding things to google?Yup. GoogleBot is Google's indexing softbot. If you watch it long enough you'll see it crawl all of the forums collecting pages.And....is that a bad thing?I don't think so, but some people may disagree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liz<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Some people do not like it because it a way, it makes information about YOU easier to get. Try tyoing your username into google, see what comes up. I personally don't have a problem with it. If you do not want google indexing your infor, just remove it from your profile.Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Also, just want to add a link to a post I made a long time ago.About GooglebotB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Well, I sure learned a lot today with your posts and Jeff's link, thank you! I'm not too worried about Google finding me--a couple of months ago, when Yahoologoogle, or whatever it was called, came out, I "searched" Blim, and found out I was a musician, and imaginary animal kingdom (?) and....a technical specialist-Ha!! I'm kinda musical, but sure not a "musician" And a tech specialist?? heeheehee, suuuurrrre.....you folks know better Glad Mr. Google is helping this place grow! Before I put this site in my favorites and Son would clean the address bar out, I googled to find BT, as I kept typing .com, and getting the wrong place.Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
