    Robots are generally search engines like Google or Bing. Some sites set up bots to read other sites for news or new posts, others do it for collecting data for targeted advertising. Ever open a page and there is a targeted ad advertising say for tires? You were looking online earlier at tires, a bot picked up on it, so it tells it's home site to put up an ad for tires when you open a page it's connected with. Pretty complicated way of advertising, but they use it to go straight to somebody that is looking for their product instead of a m*** ad that might reach more people but few would have any interest in.
    It's amazing how this interwebs thing is used, in many ways we don't even know we're targeted.

    Just kidding, I thought it was kind of funny. Thanks for making me feel like a young pup though. I was 4 in 62.
