Well nearly;

 

The 'Google Bot', 'Yahoo Bot', etc that you see browsing the forum here are the search engine's way of indexing whats on the web.

This process is called Web crawling or spidering. Many legitimate sites, in particular search engines, use spidering as a means of providing up-to-date data. Web crawlers are mainly used to create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by a search engine, that will index the downloaded pages to provide fast searches.

The more pages on Pigeonbasics that the bots crawl hopefully the higher we will rank in the search engine listings . Brining more people to the site ;D
