What and where does a web crawler look on a web page? Example: Yahoo images, how do these photos get found?
When you do a search, the results are diplayed. There is a bold heading and text under. Where does a web crawler find this info.Where would I put this info on my webpage? Same with photos?

- A robot or web crawler will look at everything unless you DON'T tell it to look at something. So if you are not using a meta tag in the <head></head> section like:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
or you don't have a robots.txt sitting in your root directory with instructions not to follow certain directories, then web crawlers should be indexing the stuff.
- They will look at everything on your website unless you have created an index telling it what or what not to look at.
