Alright, you are a great designer. Some might even argue that you have the ‘eye of the tiger’. But would it not be a lot more useful if you had the ‘eye of the spider’? Ya, that is what I figured. With that in mind, this article below will help you to understand search engine spiders, how they work and what they are looking for.

Making efforts to optimize a site is great but what counts is how search engines see your efforts. While even the most careful optimization does not guarantee tops position in search results, if your site does not follow basic SEO truths, then it is more than certain that this site will not score well with search engines. One way to check in advance how your SEO efforts are seen by search engines is to use a search engine simulator.

Spiders Explained

Basically all search engine spiders function on the same principle – they crawl the Web and index pages, which are stored in a database and later use various algorithms to determine page ranking, relevancy, etc of the collected pages.
