Do search bots like links in VB? I think so.

Last week I set up a forum category for an RSS feed for scam emails. The forum has 4 child forums that catorgorize the format of each scam email.

About 100-150 new threads are made a day, each thread being a scammer email found across the internet.

Until today those particular forums (the 4 child forums) were only getting about 5-10 search bots on them in total, but then I decided to change the forum description to show what child forums were inside, check this image so you can see what I mean:

Almost immediately after I did that, I get 50-100 search bots going through them. Sometimes up to 150-200.

Is this coincidence, or to the search engine spiders like to see the links beneath the forum descriptions?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
