What is spidering or crawling of a web page for SEO?
Question: -
Q: What does it mean "to be crawled.?
Answer: -
Crawling or indexing is part of the process of getting 'into' the Google index.
Here are the steps -
- You create your website.
- You tell Google about it via Webmaster tools, AddURL, news releases, and/or links.
- Google discovers it, and sends the Googlebot spider out to crawl it.
- Googlebot lands on your home page and clicks from page to page on the site. It takes summaries (samples) of your pages.
- These pages 'return' to Google's home database, as it were, and become database summaries in the enormous internal database that Google has of the entire web.
- Users input queries, and hopefully see your pages as you do your SEO correctly!
So to get in the index, you must first be crawled. Crawling is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition to being in the Google index, and thereby having a chance at getting to the No. 1 position!
Hope this helps!
