People rely on Search Engines to give results and determine if the website has any relevant information on it. In turn, Search Engine Spiders keep data from millions of websites and presents this to its Search Engine in a formula it understands.
Major search engines use mathematical formula for determining data from websites. It also uses the same formula to determine the importance of a website by giving it a Page or Trust Rank. Relevant websites with good search history among Search Engines are usually at the beginning of Search Engines’ results page.
Major Search Engines just don’t take snapshots of date from websites. It actually stores the information it gets to its own database. Imagine how difficult this job is if it were done by humans given the number of websites that exist today. It’s the very reason why a massive computer storage is required for this. After a data is saved, it gets compared to all the other relevant information found from other websites.
Couple that with then retrieving those sites, ranking them in importance and relevance for a given search anytime a user like you wants to do a search and you begin to understand the complexity of the task. Since a Search Engine is only good as the results it produces for a search, you can see why some websites don’t even get stored in the data base.
Keep in mind that the website you submit for search engines are not always sufficient for instant recognition. You have to prove your site is as worthy to be included in the game. The main thing you have to remember is that the Search Spider easily scans and indexes your website for customers to see. This is where SEO becomes important. The Search Engine Optimizer knows the elements and language the Search Spiders are looking for and knows how to present a website to be relevant.
Search Engines continually look for websites it can assimilate. Since it has its own Spiders, it’s more like scouts. Remember the Borg? It’s from the TV series Start Trek. The Search Spiders and Borg are quite the same in what they do. Through links, a Spider follows through and assimilates websites continually – similar to how a Borg looks for galaxy to assimilate.
In the TV show the Borg were often quoted as saying resistance is futile. However in the case of Search Engines and your website, you want to be assimilated, found by the Borg. The trouble comes when the scout Borg, Search Spider, gets to your site and skips it without assimilating it. What has happened can either be that it, The Search Spider, has determined that your site has nothing unique to offer or that has been blocked by some information it found in the website information.
Your mission is to have a website running that is attractive to Search Spiders. The Search Spider, it too has a mission. And since it’s not human, it’s only meant to do its job and what it is for that is already programmed. A website is invisible to a spider if it does not posses the elements required for a relevant search result.
