Web Spider Patterns
Web spiders evolve and change just as your websites evolve and change. The more you give the more you get. The “give” comes in the form of content. The “get” comes in the form of search engine referrals for your keyword-optimized web pages.
Web spiders start with a “feeling out” process. They come once in a while to say “hello” until they get a better idea about your site. Once they get a good sense of your website, they come back with a fury if your website offers them food in the way of good content.
Depending on the type of website you are running, spider visits can be less or more frequent. If you are constantly providing new content, spiders will follow you every step of the way. If your website’s content does not change much, spiders will still visit your site, albeit less frequently.
