They are called spiders. They visit a site and browse it like a normal user and record data. This data then is used on its search engine and puts it into searches. Thats one reason they dont want us posting personal info. The spiders record it then spam the internet with your info.

Actually they are good for IDoser. Every time ,for example, the google bot shows up it records the information and updates its database. With more popularity on the website the website moves up the latter of search results ultimately pushing IDoser to the very top if you were to google terms like binaural beats, digital drugs, and things in that manner
