Web Robots

Web robots, also known as web crawlers or spiders, are automated programs that systematically browse the internet to gather information. They scan websites, index page content, and follow links to discover new or updated pages. This process helps search engines like Google organize and display relevant information for users. Web robots operate according to rules set by website owners, such as permissions in a "robots.txt" file, ensuring respectful and efficient data collection. Their role is essential for building comprehensive, up-to-date search indices that improve the accuracy and speed of online searches.
