What are Search engine spiders?

Search engines use small computer programs to browse through and read web pages on the Internet. Such programs are often referred to as "Search Engine spiders" or "search engine robots". When a search engine spider visits your page it first reads the text on the page and then tries to follow links from that page off to other web pages and web sites.
You can think of a search engine spider as a very simple form of automated browser. It traverses the Internet like a human would do with a browser - just many times faster and fully automated.
Unlike ordinary browsers, search engine spiders do not "view" web pages - they simply "read" the content and click the links. Search engine spiders do not enjoy or appreciate the great design and "cool" images on your web pages. This defines the mean difference between human edited directories and search engines. The human editor appreciates your look and feel or sees your site is not ready. The search engine don’t see this an Index the part that’s ready.
