E-Seminar: How Search Engines Work

Did you know that U.S. Internet users conducted nearly 10 billion searches on the top four search engines in the month of December 2007 alone? Did you know that people rely on search engines to help them find their final destination on the web 50% of the time? And very few people look past the first few pages of search results? With so much dependence on Internet search technology, understanding how search engines work and how to adapt your site to rank higher can pay off.

First, a glossary of terms:


Spider – a program that “crawls” the web looking for web pages
Engine – a complex computer program that gives you the results from what you searched
Index – think of this as a phone book's yellow pages, a directory of web pages sorted by keywords and subjects
