    what are???

    Yahoo Bot and Google Bot?? I had emails come in from them this morning from one of the websites that I own and now have hundreds of request from other companies to link my website to theirs through a relevant link exchange? Are these related or just a coincidence that they came in today? The companies that submitted request appear to be real companies that do the same thing that we do, just in different parts of the country. Can anyone explain to me what these companies want before I call them back tomorrow?

    Anyone?? Help?

    Thanks

    Yahoo Bot and Google Bot are the systems that visit your site every few hours/days/weeks to check whats new. These bots save the pages of your site so Google and Yahoo know what kind of content you have ... then they use that info to generate the search results

    Dozens or hundreds of emails in the same day with requests are very odd. Similar wording of totally different?

    They were similar wording, but just a little different. They were generally from new home companies all around the country that appear to be legitimate businesses. Also they came in off of the contact forms. All the email return addresses were corporate brand emails, not .gmail or whatever. But they all had the same type of message. Don't know if this is some new marketing scheme or just a new scam. I had 61 come in today that were the same request. They came in off of our contact form and looked generally like this:

    We do not compete in the states you build in. ******** only builds in
    Florida, Texas, and North Carolina. In lieu of the current market conditions,
    we both might benefit from a website linking relationship an increase our
    organic search positions for the demographic regions we are focusing on. Please
    contact me if you are interested in a link exchange.


    I blanked out the company name, but there were all generally the same wording. They all also came in after the google bot and yahoo bot emails came in off of the contact form.
    This is what the yahoo bot contacts looked like
    Name: YahooBot
    Address: flaNgmtXZurNJpX
    City: CYLNsYIubzInSnJrta
    State: WYNekGjlfBEmkcYs
    Zip: lLpiMhLNUUSpKBI
    Phone: sDMxJTUxAJLAd
    Email: yah13oaaa@gmail.com
    Contact: Phone
    Interest: Remodel
    S1: Nice site, thanks for information!
    B1: Submit

    The "Google Bot" and "Yahoo Bot" emails you received are spams. Spammers use software to fill forms all around the web, and they hope the forms will publish their links somewhere.
