How Search Engine(s) Work?
Search engines work by simply crawling billions of pages using the web crawlers they have
developed. These are commonly referred to as search engine spiders or bots. A search engines
spider then navigates the web by following links on a new web page it discovers to find new
pages and so forth.
1. Key Terms:
a. Crawler/Bot: A crawler is a program used by search engines to collect data from
the internet. When a crawler visits a website, it picks over the entire website's
content (i.e. the text) and stores it in a databank. It also stores all the external
and internal links to the website.
b. Crawling: Crawling is the discovery of pages and links that lead to more pages.
c. Indexing: Indexing is storing, analyzing, and organizing the crawled content.
d. Ranking: Ranking refers to the order of URLs on the search engine results page
(SERP) and the process search engines use to determine these results.
e. Search Intent: Search intent is the why behind a search query. In other words,
why did the person make this search? Do they want to learn something? Are they
looking to make a purchase? Or, are they looking for a particular website?
f. SERP: Search Engine Results Pages (also known as “SERPs” or “SERP”) are
Google’s response to a user’s search query. SERPs tend to include organic
search results, paid Google Ads results, Featured Snippets, Knowledge Graphs
and video results.
g. Our first and main rule in SEO is, “We have to help Google to provide
satisfied results to their Users.”
