| | | BEWARE! - Submitting your web site to "1000s of SEs and FFA links" just does NOT work and results in a flood of "Spam" emails and attracts very few visitors to your website. | | |  |  | | The "spider" | | When a potential visitor enters keywords in Google, for example, he is not searching the web but a database compiled by Google. This database consists of the text and links from the web pages that have been visited by Google's "spider/robot". When a website is submited to Google, Google's spider is suppled with a starting point for their automatic journey. The spider / robot then follows links and thus discovers other pages in your website and visits other sites to which your site is linked. | | | | | | |
| | | The "spider" is the computer software (algorithm) used by engines to analyze pages on the world wide web. The "spiders" roam the web following links and indexing all pages found. | | | | | |
