As a kind of the internet marketing strategy the search engine optimization delves into the functioning of the search engines as well as the mindset, and the manner in which the people carry out searches on the search engines. In order to optimize a website to place it higher on the search engines require an editing of the content as well as the HTML coding of the website. The idea behind is to improve the relevance of the website to the specific keywords that the user might type while searching the net.

There are many reasons in which the search engine optimization services are carried out. Some of the leading search engines use spiders as well as the crawlers to index the pages. The pages that are linked to the other search engine linked pages need not be indexed as they are found automatically. The spiders as well as the crawlers look at number of different factors while crawling a site. In fact not every page of the website is crawled by the search engines. The distance of the website from the root directory plays a very important role in the indexing of the search engines.

It is also possible that the webmasters can instruct the spiders not to crawl certain files as well as directories. This can be done through the robot.txt file in the root directory of the domain. The robot.txt file is the first one that is crawled by the search engine when it first visits the site. The robots.txt file is then minutely scrutinized and instructs the robot not to crawl the specified pages. The pages that are generally prevented from being crawled are the login pages in websites like those of the shopping carts, and other user-specific content such as the search results from the internal searches. In fact many of the search engines have now strictly instructed the web masters as to avoid the crawling and indexing of internal search results. Along with the indexing there are many other things that can be done and needs to be done in order to increase the relevance of the website in the search results.
