What are all these robots doing on CC?

[Ganymede]

Clicked idly on the list of who's online on CycleChat. Woooo... robots...

http://www.cyclechat.net/online/

What are they doing? Harvesting some sort of data? Will they see that I just said I'd be happy to see Bradley Wiggins training with the Welsh gymnastics team?

automated scanning software for search engines... google/bing so that if you were to search on a certain bike term or phrase in a search engine you would get CC as one of the results...

I often see something on CC search for more information on the subject and find one of the first links is back to the thread I'm trying to get information on.

You often then get links to products you've looked at on other websites too. I really don't care cos I never buy ANYTHING on-line I may search on-line but if they ain't got a phone No and a UK address then they don't get my hard earned beer vouchers. I know far too many people who've been ripped off and had bank accounts raided to trust any seller that won't tell me where they are.
