A short summary of how Google indexes your weblogs


spider1
Google uses an automated software to go index the whole world wide web. These automated softwares are typically called a spider or crawler. Google indexes your weblogs through the use of these spiders, if you look at the image to the left, you will see a robot that looks like one of the robots you can see in a terminator movie, however a spider isn't really a physical robot, it is only a program or just a set of instructions performed by Google's web servers, A spider or crawler is sent to your weblogs and then reads and records your entire weblogs content. How often a spider crawls your weblogs depends on a lot of factors, one of which is the page rank of your weblogs, another is how often you have added content to your weblogs in the past.

When a Google crawler or spider first goes to your website, it reads and records your weblogs content like humans do, that is they start from the left to right, and top to bottom. These bots however are not capable of appreciating a beautiful picture, an amazingly dramatic video or a very fun and interactive flash application so keep those at a minimum in your weblogs content so that you will have more room for your text content. Spiders typically start on your homepage following each link as they encounter it. What actually happens is that when a spider encounters a link in your weblog it then sends another spider to follow that link to another page of your weblog or somebody else's weblog, it continues this process until it reaches the bottom of your weblogs homepage.

Google has been also known to not indexed weblogs until at least one other weblog or webpage has linked to it. So make it your primary focus to first gain some links from other weblogs before concerning yourself with onpage SEO (search engine optimization)
This is only a short summary of how Google indexes your weblogs, the full process of how Google indexes your weblogs contains some technical stuffs that I have omitted for the benefit of those that are new or just starting their weblogs. Have fun with your weblogs!

Google is the best search engine working on my site. So it is wise to choose your keyword properly so Google can index it more easily.

In order for a website to come up on a Google search, they first have to know about it and add it to their database. They have crawlers that go and look for new sites.

i think one part of the algorithm for doing the seem to be that of looking for duplicate.

It's good to know that Google also takes a snapshot of your website pages. It's the snapshot it uses to produce search results. When you search Google you search Google servers that's why it secs a fraction of a sec. to show you results.

Like it says Google indexed some files or a website.

Unfortunately it does not appear Google has an actual schedule and it really often just depends. But from my experience Google seems to pick up changes no longer than two weeks (this is how long I've typically seen new domains show up in the search, so it may be shorter for an established site as Google would just check for changes).

I have updated my website and would like to know how often Google crawls and updates indexes, so I can see what impact the changes have made re searching and page ranking.

Google takes a snapshot of each page examined as it crawls the web and caches these as a back-up in case the original page is unavailable. If you click on the "Cached" link, you will see the web page as it looked when we indexed it.

The cache is sort of a dumping folder for files that are in use but not required for normal operation. it's a folder that is used with most programs to put uncompressed files in so, and the files within can usually be deleted without conciseness, as the program will reload them if it needs them.
