Oct 24, 2001, 16 :41 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (3528 reads) (Other stories by Chris Sherman)

They can also automatically and rapidly fetch material that a site owner may not want anyone to see. For this reason, most crawlers (also called "robots") abide by the "robots exclusion protocol," an informal set of rules that constrains their behavior."
