Term:
Search Engine Spiders in SEO
AKA: Robots, Crawlers
Definition: A search engine spider
is used to collect information from web pages as a
means to cache the web page. Each search engine has
their own spider, designed and coded by them, that
continually crawls the web updating the cached versions
of websites and looking for new pages added to websites.
Search engine spiders are the principal means of gathering
information for search engines. Once a page has been seen by a search engine spider, it is said to have been "spidered."
Miscellaneous Information: Google’s
spider is known as Googlebot, MSN’s is MSN Bot,
and Yahoo’s is named Slurp.
