What is Indexing

[thuymole]

If you have been in the web world for a while, you’ve at least heard the words:

Google Crawling and Indexing.

These are the two terms upon which the entire web world depends.Let’s define, understand, and get some in-depth information about crawling and indexing.Crawling:
When Google visits your website for tracking purposes. This process is done by Google’s Spider crawler.

Indexing:

After crawling has been done, the results get put onto Google’s index (i.e. web search).

In layman’s terms, indexing is the process of adding webpages into Google search. Depending upon which meta tag you used (index or NO-index), Google will crawl and index your pages. A no-index tag means that that page will not be added into the web search’s index.
