So how do search engines work?

Most of the top search engines are spider based.

What does this mean?

The search engine’s main functional software is called a spider. What a spider does is it goes out to websites and reads the content and connects to any other site linked to that particular site.

The spider then brings back all the information to the search engine.

The search engine then indexes the site and presents it in its ranked listing for that website’s relevant keywords.

Some spiders work automatically and for some to visit your website you must submit your site to the search engine.

Let’s talk about indexing...

The index is a huge database containing all the information brought back by the spider.

The index is constantly being updated as the spiders collect more data.

The key consideration to obtaining optimal website ranking is ensuring the high value content of your website.

Search engines, today, value this above all else.

Once search engines index your site the search engine software takes over the process.

When a person searches on a keyword or phrase the search engine software searches its index for relevant information. The software then pulls up the most relevant information for the searcher.

That’s how search engines work in a nutshell!
