Can always tell because number of people online goes up to 50 or 60. They are all guests. The guests ip can be checked and it turns out they are guests from Google.
This is the Google spider - it follows links from page to page and samples key words on pages etc. All that information then goes into the Google algorithm where it is crunched and put into the Google index.

That's actually quite perceptive cos not even the biggest tech-heads understand exactly how Google works it's all a bit of a secret!
But in a nutshell it's about searching for "free motorhome wild camping" and coming here or the big W instead of Chinese louis vuitton fake louboutines flogging page or sex aid/viagra sales ;D

I understood that till you explained it.
If you host your own board, with phpBB or something, you can exercise some degree of control over bots, but probably not on a free host site like this

You used to be able to put HTML tags in to control spider bots. I used to do entire websites in notepad. I kind of lost track of it as web editors developed. But I still do some basic HTML like the headers on this site for example. It's true we don't have any control over bots but they generally come in our dead time 5 or 6 am and don't slow the site down for anyone. I welcome the bots we got 60 online at the same time as opposed to 43 last time which shows the site has grown in stature and they are devoting more resources to clocking it.
