What does it mean when something like "Ask Jeeves" shows up in the user list? Does it mean that a guest has used Ask Jeeves and been directed to this site?

No, that means that Ask Jeeves "the search engine" is indexing MrPLC.com. There are automatic computers called "spiders" or "robots" that browse the web and collect it for search engines. So when you go to google.com and search for something, you'll find the results, because google.com spider has visited mrplc.com. They do this about every 1-2 weeks.

Thanks. That makes sense. I was doing a search on yahoo on a problem I was having when I found this site through a post it found. Guess it works
