I knew it! skynet is now self-aware... and terminator: genesis is slated to be released in 2015.

I think it means all potential types of web robots: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bot

You can do a Google search using "internet bots", or "web robots", for many more detailed explanations.

@misor "I knew it! skynet is now self-aware" and this relates to specifically what portion of this topic???

@learninmypc the short answer is YES. This is how a webmaster drives traffic to a site - - allowing bots to find and index topics.
