Search engine spider or web crawler
Search engine “spiders” (also known as web crawlers) are programmes that
search engines (such as Google, Yahoo!, Bing, MSN etc) use to automatically
analyse and then index the content of a website, including for instance, page
titles, descriptions, tags and page content etc.
If these spiders can't access a website (e.g. because it has been poorly
designed or has insufficient content, keywords or tags relating to the specific
business, products or services), the site will not get indexed or listed in the
search engines index - in other words, it won’t come up in search results and
won’t be found by prospective customers.
They are therefore pretty important to the success of your site!
How we can help to ensure your pages are indexed and your business attracts more customers:
If we design and build your website for you, the layout, navigation, internal linking structure, keywords, tagging, page titles
and descriptions will all be optimised to help ensure that they are more easily indexed by the search engines. After years of
online trading in the health supplements industry, we know how to rank for our products’ keywords.
We can also produce dozens, hundreds or even thousands of sentences and paragraphs of relevant text, which you can
add as new pages to your site. The more relevant the content, and the higher the quality (e.g. in terms of grammar,
spelling etc), the more interested search engine spiders will be in indexing the pages.
Once indexed, potential clients searching for specific keywords or phrases on a search engine, will be forwarded to your
website. When they get there, they will find a valuable information resource rather than spam. This will encourage them to
make purchases and to keep returning to your site.
Poor quality content tends to lead to a high bounce rate (i.e. visitors leaving within seconds, without clicking through to any
of your other pages) and can also lead to page rank penalties from the search engines themselves. In extreme cases, it
can even lead to a site being totally de-listed. Don’t make that mistake!
