Bots, spiders, and web crawlers are the most common names that I know. They are programs that "read" the internet and populate search results - that is how Google knows what's on a website and then decides to show it to you in your search results.

They are typically harmless and can even be good if you're trying to rank high in a certain search engine, depending on who made the bot.

I'm not sure who it could be in Estonia, the IP address search results could be giving you information from an area much larger than it would appear. Mine says that I'm in St. Louis, Missouri (USA), but it's a 45 minutes drive to St. Louis from where I live.


If this is a robot/crawler, etc., I wonder why nothing like this has ever happened before?


I have one that's visited my profile 25 times so far. It must like me

It seems that you might find your " profile" on the aforementioned site. See http://www.proz.com/forum/scams/277712-another_unauthorised_directory_listing_lingvopointcom.html

PS: the last visitor of your profile from Latvia is me. Not a crawler, just out of sheer curiosity

Have a nice day,
Maija
