It's actually pretty normal Rick, but like I said you don't usually get to see how many search engines are moving around the web looking for data.
This is how they work, and I added nothing but the ability to see them;
A search engine spider crawls the site. Let's say they find a topic called Bearmanric's calls are the Ultimate. While the spider crawls through that thread it's looking for links. Let's say it finds a link in your sigline that goes to your webpage.
If it crawls that thread enough, and sooner or later someone types Ultimate calls into a search engine, guess where it's going to take them.... :eyebrownod:...your web page.
That's just a slim example of how search engines get the material they do to provide to those users who search. They have to get it somehow, and that's exactly how they rank their results. The more links it finds back to a web page the further it moves it up in the list of related search results.
Now there will be this big rush of members putting links in their siglines :innocentwhistle: but hey ya just as well. That's how they work.
canine ...I just thought it was funny at the time. :nono: I'll probably change it.
Just curious, and really off topic but, am I the only one that tries to click on underlined stuff?? :shrug: :nono:

Ahhhhhh so you DID fall for that eh :sneer:
Actually there's nothing wrong with you Brad, it's a formed habit from being on the internet.
Remember when that was one of the only ways you could distinguish a link from ordinary text? We all just got used to it.
Now there's so many ways to put up a link, you can even get busted clicking without actually clicking. There's code for sending you to a different page just by running your mouse over something :shck:
Everything on this forum that is a link (except buttons) will become underlined WHEN you put your mouse on it. Indicating that it's a link. :wink:
" There's code for sending you to a different page just by running your mouse over something"
That right there explains a bunch.
That's all I have to say about that though. :innocentwhistle:
