What are web robots ?
Human users of the web use browsers like Internet Explorer. They read what is presented and act by clicking somewhere on the screen. Those clicks send information back to the web server computers which cause the web server computer to do stuff — usually send back more information. On BullionVault the user’s click sometimes means ‘trade some gold’. A web robot – or “bot” – is a computer program which effectively does the job of the human clicker automatically.
