Search Engine Introduction

What is a Search Engine?


A search engines is the tool of Internet users for finding whatever it is that they want or need on the web. Search engines are that special thing that allows people to search the world for what makes them happy. There are both limitations on search engines that are built by design and by web sites owners' choice - I can choose to have my site remain invisible to the rest of the world.

A search engine sends a 'spider' out to gather information on the websites of the world. This is the tool that is the base for our being able to search the internet.

There are two to get your site spidered:

1. The spider will automatically find your site from a link on someone else's site

2. You submit your URL so that the spider will come out and find it. I used to do both but it is so easy to have your site spidered I don't normally even tell people of this option. I imclude it here just to be complete.

How Does a Search Engine Index Web Pages?

There are four main things know about a search engine for optimization:

1. The spider is a program that goes out and gathers up web pages; the process is referred to as being spidered (I was spidered last week)
2. The database is where the spider will store the pages that it finds
3. The search engine website (http://www. google.com is my choice) is where you and I go to find information from the database
4. The algorithms are programs that determine which sites will come up when you and I type our search request
