a bot is a device that transmits through your keyboard, and directly into your skin. it burrows into your mind and forces you to use google for all your searches.
A "bot" is the Search Engines (like Google) looking at and "indexing" all your great artwork so buyers can find them on search engines... they're very good and will continually "look" at all your work. Lot's of info on them on the forums...just search for "bots".
No Bots from Colorado or Kista,.... but the rest of them for sure. Beverly Hills and New York seem to be working over-time the last few days. Beverly Hills hits the same image multiple times. Sure does skew the visitor count! Makes me wonder why. Once should be enough.
Justin thanks for the concern but I am not bothered by bots, I just want to know if my case is happenstance or across the board. Now, I got some assumptions.
I've been seeing those on my counts too. And here I was hoping somebody in Beverly Hills or NYC with deep pockets were trying to decide what they wanted to buy of mine first! LOL
Cupertino, Moscow, Kiev, San Francisco, New York and Beverley Hills are the most common on mine. I don't care. View away. Increase my numbers. Propogate my stuff all over the internet. I should send them cookies, eh?
Maybe this is a stupid comment..."bot"tom line is, I've been ignoring most of the bot threads... bot... if bots find your images, and then people looking for art like yours find the stuff the bot found and then buy your art... wouldn't that be a good thing?
Why would organizations like Google bother sending bots around to find art, if there weren't human beings at the other end interested in looking at what the bot found?
Hi…newbie here. How can you tell a 'bot' view from a real user view?? Although I've only been on here for a few days I've had lots of visits from this Beverly Hills bot…. Hopefully the bots will generate some legit views...
You will certainly get views from social media sites (facebook, twitter, pinterest etc), as you market your work outside FAA. Other artists will also look at your work adding up to your views. Some of them may like your work and give comments, buyers rarely do that.
