Hi, What is the difference between search engine crawling & index? How much time it will take to index a page after crawled by search engine spider? Regards Ramki
Crawling is the process of reading the data on the page, indexing is putting this data (and other meta data) in the search engines database (index). To your second question, anywhere between immediately and never
The "crawling" occurs as bots visit your site and traverse the pages looking for links and content. There is a great deal of information here on DP about this process and ideas/suggestions of things for you to do. You might want to use the search option here on DP for terms like: robots.txt, bots, and sandbox. This forum has a lot of very useful info and, IMHO it sounds like you need to do quite a bit of reading. Best of luck!
Crawling:: Crawling is the process of an engine requesting -- and successfully downloading -- a unique URL. Obstacles to crawling include no links to a URL, server downtime, robots exclusion, or using links (such as some JavaScript links) from which bots cannot find a valid URL. Indexing::ndexing is the result of successful crawling. I consider a URL to be indexed (by Google) when an info: or cache: query produces a result, signifying the URL's presence in the Google index.
Crawling: mean Search engine Crawler visit your and Indexing mean search engine spider visit your site and your site data storage in search engine database.
Crawling is just the spider visiting and taking info from your pages, indexing is when that info is processed and affects your ranking.
Hi Friend, in Crawling search engine reads our data , and than after crawling , place our url in SERP, so it's called index.
