Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information also, just like your business details, for example.
