Search Engine Web Crawler

Also known as a search engine robot, or web spider the web crawler is a script used by search engines to visit other websites, monitor them, and index them for inclusion in their databases.

Crawling itself is not easy for search engines to do. When you consider the massive size of the internet itself, the bandwidth required for scowering page after page, indeed browing an entire website far more deeply then any single human is likely to ever do on a single visit.

The crawler must navigate dynamic pages, record every hit it's making, and then pass that information back to the search engine systems to be processed.

This is the reason that Sitemaps have gained popularity to assist search engines with effectively navigating labyrnth sized websites. In regards to search engine optimization creating an XML sitemap is a good idea for google search engine optimization. It's also usefull with Yahoo and MSN Live.

Also be sure to configure your Robots file on your web server. This file will allow you to tell the crawlers of search engines which pages and portions of your website to avoid. Good if you have section of the website under construction or not ready for indexing. Of course while the robots file tells a crawler what pages to avoid, there is in reality nothing stopping the crawler from doing so.

The Wikipedia entry on web crawlers has good information on the crawling process and is a good read for any Internet Marketing or Search Engine Optimization consultant.
