Could someone please tell me who or what is BingBot Spider.

Thank you Missy, never come across it, but then I never claim to know more than I need to know about t'internet.

Who's controlling them? Hmmmmmmmm

Lez, can you talk English please, for someone who's not savvy with technical terms. SEO? Is it Search Engine but what does the O mean?

Search engine optimisation

Means search engines trawl sites looking for content suitable for a search term

We are normally top of the list because we have unique niche market content

And advertisers love that
