Hello all, I've been analyzing my ad hits and the spiders are crawling all over adlandpro. Michael Dela Cruz kindly answered my question about one url that kept cropping up. I had entered it into my browser and the screen made reference to yahoo but it was an odd message... So, Michael explained that it was probably a spider. Since then I've followed some of the other urls and here is what I found. I didn't google these -- I initially used my browser search which is set to MSN but they couldn't find themselves (he he) as usual! so, I used Y! search from my Y!

When I entered the url # for Microsoft into the msn search they claimed there wasn't any thing and would I like that for my url! so, I got to send them a suggestion on how to improve their serach engine! <<>>> ain't life grand?
