HelloRobot is a web crawler. Web crawlers, also called 'spiders' or 'wanderers' are automated tools used to travel the net and collect information from websites. For instance Googlebot is the web crawler that Google uses to gather information they might want to index in their search engine.

HelloRobot is designed to be polite and to follow any instructions from the site's owners. If for any reason you would like HelloRobot NOT to crawl your site just modify your robot.txt file accordingly. Information about to how to do this can be found on [ http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html ]
