What is a web bot, or spider?

0

A spider is a piece of software that crawls from link to link gathering information to put into search results. The more links that are connecting to a site will improve its search ability and as a result its ranking as well. If a site has no links it can be submitted to a search engine to allow their spider to collect and sort the content.
