How much of your page do the search engines read

I read somewhere a while ago and I wish I could remember where, that when the search engine spiders are doing their indexing they only take into consideration the first 200 words on your webpages. So all your keywords and important information must be written in those first 200 words.

For all you SEO experts is this true?

 

Wrong. The job of a search engine is to crawl, index and rank the whole internet.

 

Search engine will index and read all your content unless you have an ultra, massive and resource consuming page that make the bots give up..

 

Search engines extract each and every single information from your website

 

if that were true then everybody would just load up the post 200 words portion of their page with black-hat tricks a-go-go with no fear of being caught and penalised.

 

Search engine do not read a web page like human does.. it will search for related keywords, keyword phrases and where it is located in the web page. Your best bet is try using an online tool like spider stimulator or something - that would give you an idea of how the bots look at a given page

 

I think there is a upper limit in "File Size" that the SEs stop at. I recommend that all pages be limited the ~45K file size as a general rule.

Other than that, I have results that come from the top and the bottom of these pages. Therefore Google reads everything, text and code.

 

I doubt that is true.

 

Thanks.

Yet again I came across misinformation on the Internet. What a surprise. LOL

 

Sorry, but not agree. because what I know Spider searches only relevant phrases in the page no matter it is after 200 or 300. It extracts it and follow the links for this. If you are right, thats not you, It will be a great idea for Black Hat isn't it.
