Getting into google database is a privilege and a not a right. We can command google by given command “NO FOLLOW” at our website so that crawlers will not follow our webpages. 

Crawlers :-

Auto Crawling  :- It has 4 main steps  a) Crawling b) Main program c) Creating a database b) Creating an Index

Crawling – as soon as you create a website, crawlers will automatically crawl your website after 3-4 days and they would capture keys words, important links , and your domain name. After capturing this information, they will pass on the information to the main program. Quantity content and quality content are used to evaluate the webpages. Main program decides the ranking about our webpages.we can consider main program as a device having an artificial brain.

Main program :- It is responsible to assign rank to your webpages. once crawlers pass on the information to main program , main program will evaluate our webpage carrying a specific key word , along with all the other webpages already existing in google database which carry the same key word. There are 2 major parameters for evaluation 1.) quantity of content (how exhaustive the content is on a particular key word) 2.) Quality of content (how relevant the content is on a specific key word) 

e.g let’s assume key word for specific webpage on our website is Mahatma Gandhi, main program found out there 1000 webpages in google’s database carrying the same key words.(including our webpage) main program will evaluate our webpage along with 999 pages other webpages in google’s database. (Based on 2 parameters).Let’s assuming that main program found out 17 webpages better than our webpages, it will assign our webpage as rank 18.

Creating a database :- once main program has assigned a rank to your webpage, google will add your webpage to it’s database.

Creating an Index :- Once your webpage has been added to google’s database , you need to create an INDEX by defining the META TITLE and META DESCRIPTION for a particular webpage.
