Hi,
I'm wondering why those bots are called Google bot or Yahoo bot. Who are they and what has Google to do with it?
what is a Google Bot exactly?

Re: what is a Google Bot exactly?
google, like most search engines, works (roughly) by building a huge, quickly-searchable database of which words occur often on which pages of the Internet.
'googlebot' is the application Google runs that browses around the 'net and collects this data.
