Does search engine indexes deep linked pages ? |
Seo concepts says SE indexes only up to 3 page deep [3 clicks from home page or page submitted to SE & so site map is created] but dir.yahoo.com etc has 7 or even 8 links deep ,more over they did not have a site map also but SE indexes all their pages how is there any special requests made to spiders / bots to index deeper explain please "prince is raja" is pretty close, but it's not accurate to say a spider will automatically crawl and index all pages it finds. The depth of crawl is largely dependent on the quality of the site. If you have a low-quality, low-trust site with thousands of pages, and many of those pages are 3+ levels deep (away from the home page), there's a good chance the deeper pages won't be indexed. Big sites like Yahoo, Amazon, Wikipedia, etc., get crawled deeply because they have gained a measure of trust and quality. Trust and quality is defined, in large part, by the quality and quantity of links pointing to your site. Build a great web site, get quality links to it, and your site will be crawled deeper and more often. (This is what Google's PageRank does. It helps determines the depth and frequency of your crawling and indexing.) Hope this helps.... Source(s): Matt McGee / Small Business SEM http://www.smallbusinesssem.com/... search engines like google do index all the pages open to them, irrespective of the depth from which they have to be digged out. however, the deeper pages appear to have lesser importance than the pages that are accessible straight from the homepage or a maximum two clicks from the homepage. this relevency factor is set by the webmaster/designer only. a page that is linked to from only a sitemap has far less importance (in SE algo), than the pages that are linked to from homepage, or are linked to from several pages in the website. if the deep linked pages are of considerable importance, they will be linked to from different pages within the website. the page can also receive links from other websites. (eg. wikipedia) as of your example, -yahoo's is a categorized directory, it is simply not possible to link to the 8th level page from the home page. I think that solves your doubt. search engines index all pages, as long as the pages are not hidden by SE spiders. listing the pages in SERP (results pages) depends on the perceived relevance of the page, when compared to the pages of the website and the pages of other website. Is it clear? now buy me a coffee :) |
