    At the moment, I have about 50 spiders on my forum...

    What does this mean?

    Check here:

    BizWeb Forum

    I am not a spider expert, maybe you guys can help....

    It looks like some type of influx of spiders...normally I just have 1-2
    spiders at a time, I am not sure what is going on all of a sudden.

    I suppose by the time anyone sees this, they will be gone :)

    It means you need to hire an exterminator. Quick! ;)

    It means you have alot of search engines browsing your forum. Im pretty sure theres an area to not include spiders on your online list somewhere in the admin panel check it out.

    Spiders are the digital search engine crawlers that go through websites picking at content and keywords. That is a good spider problem to have.

    spider/bot/crawling will bring some traffic to your forum sometime.

    It means either you're getting a lot of love - or there's a lot of the same bots crawling, but that's a good thing right? Means you have links, and they're coming to index your content - which also means, get more links, so you can get your rankings up/
