What Are Web Bots Doing With My Artwork

Search engines are indexing them. If you want to show up in google and the like, you want bots to find you.

Put the word bots in the discussion search and you'll find a plethora of discussions about it.

bots are the worker bees that supply food for the hive. they take your info and give to the search so you can be found easily. the location hardly matters, as to where they come from, it could easily be a russian search. or even some blog that likes your work.

---Mike Savad

Unfortunately, many of the Russian bots are looking for exploits (with which to gain entry to a site for nefarious purposes). :(

how often do they need to 'index' them - seriously - every day, two or three times?

I am getting lots of Russina Federation hits, find it weird too.
