Search Engine Spiders and How They Work. 

Spiders are programmes used by the Search Engines that crawl around the web and find websites and index them.

Google’s spiders are known as “Googlebot” and they can index over 100 pages per second!

This is all based on a mathematical formula, know as algorithms, which are constantly being modified and changed.   Google are on top of their game in this field.  Their algorithm is top secret and constantly changing, so you can’t figure it out and cheat

They work by following links between pages, which is why link building (internally and externally) is very important.

When someone conducts a search, they have to type a search term to tell the search engines what they’re looking for.  These are commonly known as keywords.

When you conduct a search, you are presented with what the search engines have found to be the most relevant sites to the search you entered.

Here are three effective strategies to help with your organic search rankings:

1. Make it easy for the spiders to index your site.  Place your top-performing keywords in key positions on your web page.  These are the keywords that drive the greatest number of highly targeted traffic to your site.

2. Attract the spiders to your site by proven linking and submission strategies.

3. Build yourself a network of relevant inbound links that point from high ranking sites to yours.
