Purpose of spiders?

I'm just curious at what the purpose of "spiders" are. I noticed there are 35 spiders currently on the site.

Spiders are the bots that Yahoo, Google, AskJeeves, etc run to scour the internet for content to index for their search engines. We have modified our vBulletin installation to list them as spiders in the Who's Online area just so that we can see them separately - normally they would be clumped in with the guests.

Ah, interesting. Do we benefit from them in any way?

Yeah, without them we wouldn't be listed on any search engines. I work to attract them, and to optimize our site to help them find what they want.

That's cool.

It's like a partnership.
