What's a spider?

Recommended Posts

Spiders are like virtual robots or virtual spiders for that matter. The 'crawl' through your website and look at your website.

 

Good spiders:

 

Search engines use spiders, they look at the building blocks of your website and store in their database that your website exists and can be reached at your domain (www.yourWebsiteAddress.com) and when pple search for things related to your site your site may come up (search engine optimization is another topic)

 

 

Bad ones:

 

They search for email address in your text and code (including mailto links)and if they find any they spam you -- they spam you a lot
