Thread: Whats a Yahoo! Slurp Spider ?

  1. #1

    Question Whats a Yahoo! Slurp Spider ?

    I was looking around the boards ad one of the buttons shows who is online
    What or who is a Yahoo! Slurp Spider ? Are they the things that check out sites for search rankings?

    Yep, it's a search engine robot, crawling all over the site!

    It scares me sometimes.

    Hi
    I asked this very question a few weeks ago and it sounds like you've got it. Mind you I'm a bit thick about these things and someone is bound to appear and explain it all properly.

    But there are a few (slurp spiders - that is) around

    you are totally right, but the yahoo ones aren't very clever.
    sometimes you see them trying to send PM's.

    what amazes me is how both they and yahoo spiders are able to partake in PMs cus ive seen it a number of times.
    Surely, they are meant to be robot type things ... weird!

    But then i guess LIFE is that.

    Now that made me laugh.

    Such a wonderful mental image of the spider with loads of shopping to lug back home.
