#Crawling

Crawling is how search engine bots discover pages by following links and reading sitemaps. If a page cannot be crawled, it usually cannot rank. Crawling is shaped by robots.txt rules, internal links, server responses and site speed. Most small sites never hit crawl limits, but they often have crawl traps and dead ends. Articles under this tag explain how crawlers move through a website and how to make that path clear.
