They are filters for Google, and spy filters for companies using search engine spiders. It searches for words, phrases and makes "interest lists." It's high tech filtering that in many ways helps us search for information and products on the internet. They are not "bots so to speck," they are placement word search and phrase search filters.
Im not sure the exact definition but in low layman terms (mine, haha)
i copy and pasted definition
COMPUTING
an autonomous program on a network (especially the Internet) that can interact with computer systems or users, especially one designed to respond or behave like a player in an adventure game.
I used to play pino and hearts. they had "bots' in those games. they were fill in players and they always won. they left if the table became full with real players. The forum does not have "bots" so to speak that I know of. If it did have bots in these forums it could be a big lawsuit as people would be questioned and lured into texting by a machine and that is privacy espionage.
Googlebot is the generic name for Google's web crawler.
Bingbot is a web-crawling robot (type of internet bot), deployed by Microsoft October 2010 to supply Bing. It collects documents from the web to build a searchable index for the Bing (search engine). It performs the same function as Google's Googlebot.
the majestic12 one is the interesting one. It can be blocked. some think it is a hack. it is from the UK and it wants in the community of bots as a world search engine. It is a woo woo waj jah bot and from what I read believes in aliens and we are it. lol
